There are two types of DM: primary and secondary. Primary diabetes includes both type 1 and type 2. Type 1 diabetes can be immune-mediated (A) or idiopathic (B).

Diabetes-related oral conditions include dental caries, oral mucosal diseases, glossodynia, trigeminal neuropathy, and taste impairment.
