Metronidazole may not improve insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes

This study evaluated the impact of metronidazole as an adjunct to scaling and root planing on insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes patients with periodontitis, finding significant changes in HOMA-IR at 6 months.

Interventions
Control Group Usual ActivityScaling and root planing with metronidazoleScaling and root planing without metronidazole
Outcomes
HOMA-IR measured at 3 monthsHomeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) at 6 months
