    Summary

    Diabetic patients, especially those with vascular and neurologic complications, exhibit decreased taste sensitivity in specific oral areas compared to healthy individuals. This research highlights taste alterations linked to diabetic complications.

    Area of Science:

    • Oral sensory science
    • Diabetology
    • Neurology

    Background:

    • Diabetes mellitus is a complex metabolic disorder.
    • Diabetic complications can affect various physiological systems, including sensory functions.
    • Taste perception is crucial for quality of life and nutritional intake.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare taste sensitivity between healthy subjects and diabetic patients.
    • To investigate the impact of diabetic complications on taste perception.
    • To identify specific oral areas and tastes affected by diabetes.

    Main Methods:

    • A comparative study involving 33 healthy individuals and 120 diabetic patients.
    • Taste sensitivity assessment across different oral regions.
    • Subgroup analysis of diabetic patients based on the presence of complications (vascular, neurologic).

    Main Results:

    • A statistically significant reduction in taste sensitivity was observed in diabetic patients.
    • Specific tastes and oral areas showed diminished sensitivity in diabetic individuals.
    • Diabetic patients with vascular and neurologic complications demonstrated the most pronounced taste alterations.

    Conclusions:

    • Diabetic complications, particularly vascular and neurologic ones, are associated with impaired taste function.
    • Taste sensitivity deficits may be an underrecognized consequence of diabetes.
    • Further research is warranted to explore the mechanisms and clinical implications of taste changes in diabetes.
