I have suffered type 1 diabetes and periodontal disease for as long as i can remember.

But on the 26th Jan 2011, i went to see my periodontist.
he told me everything is good but with abit of angry gums nothing too serious and i have controlled it well due to the fact i haven't seen him for a year from summer '09 til 26th jan. he referred me to get braces. the head of the oral hygiene and the head of braces department gave me two yes to get braces.

my problem is that .. my diabetes is in good control and of course i sometimes get the high and low but not like yo-yo style. and my gums still hurt and bleed. :( is it because of stress? my hygiene consists of flossing, mouth washing and brushing. (everyday routine.)

And im scared to see my orthodontist tomorrow, in case she pushes me away and tells me i cannot get them D:
