A case presentation on Ms. KG was done to educate my colleagues on what HbA1C levels are and how it impacts a client with Diabetes Mellitus type 2. As seen on the diagnosis slide, Ms. KG presents with several sites of chronic periodontitis and was not aware previously of the poor wound healing ability typical of clients with Diabetes Mellitus type 2. Through nutritional counselling and the case presentation, I was able to educate my client a bit more about the relationship between her systemic conditions and oral health. I believe this is important in clinical therapy as it is not always about debridement. The reasons for inflammation should be addressed first in order to truly improve the client’s oral health.
