Abstract

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a non-communicable disease that can cause manifestations in the oral cavity, known as oral diabetic, including dental caries, dry mouth, bleeding gums, calculus, alveolar bone resorption, and periodontitis. The quality of the nutritional diet is thought to play an important role in maintaining the stability of blood sugar levels as well as the health of teeth and periodontal tissue in DM patients. Objective: to analyze the relationship between nutritional diet and blood sugar levels, dental caries, and periodontal tissue conditions in type 2 DM patients at the Kersanegara Health Center, Cibeureum District, Tasikmalaya City. Method: this type of research is an observational analytical research with a cross sectional design. The sample was selected using the purposive sampling method with the inclusion criteria of type 2 DM patients, having index teeth, and willing to be respondents, with a total of 128 participating respondents. Nutritional diet was measured using the Dietary Behavior and Quality Index (DBQI), blood sugar levels were clinically measured, dental caries using the DMF-T Index, and periodontal tissue condition using the CPITN Index. Data analysis used the Spearman's rho correlation test because the data was not normally distributed. Results: there was a significant association between nutritional diet and blood sugar levels (p = 0,001; r = 0,342), with the experience of dental caries (p = 0,002; r = 0,285), and with periodontal tissue conditions (p = 0,008; r = 0,248). Conclusion: there is a relationship between nutritional diet and blood sugar levels, dental caries, and periodontal tissue conditions in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
