The prevalence of diabetes is increasing worldwide. Diabetic population is growing fastest in south Asian region. Currently India is having more than 45 million diabetics. As the longevity of diabetic patients is being increased due to effective diagnostic protocols, increasing awareness and better treatment options available, more and more dentist has to come across diabetic population with dental problems. Therefore, it is important for dentists to be aware of medical and dental management considerations for this expanding patient population.
