Starting 3rd Year! Exciting!!

Hi Readers!
As Autumn creeps in the end of summer break is here! After a long restful few months I am happy to come back to university and learn more about medical sciences and trying new experiences! 
A little food for thought and what I am currently working on is what one thing would you do differently than last year? For me I am definitely going to be working on my literature reviews and try to read more science journals in order to get a better understanding and learn the scientific language. 

whats yours? 
Lastly good luck on the new academic year! I hope this year brings new friends, good grades and all round good vibes!

Can Treating Gum disease help manage type 2 diabetes?

A new study led by professor Dr. Francesco D' Auito have found out in new research that treating gum disease can have a significant improvement and manageable differences on type 2 diabetes. 

Below are a few experts from the research paper: 

"Gum disease is closely linked to diabetes and it is well known that it can lead to a higher blood glucose level as well as chronic inflammation around the body, which both could promote the development of kidney and vessel damage if sustained for long periods of time.
"This is the first long-term, randomised study to show a substantial benefit of treating gum disease on diabetes control.
"Lowering blood glucose level by 0.6% is the equivalent of prescribing a patient an additional, second blood sugar lowering drug.
what do you think of this exciting news, that I thought I would share with my readers! 

let me know in the comments below!! :)
