-People with well controlled diabetes are no more susceptible to infections than people without. They do however have more difficulty containing existing infections. This is due in part to altered leukocyte function.
-Elective oral surgery in poorly controlled patients should be deferred until control is accomplished.

Penicillin therapy is initiated. If response is poor, sensitivity testing is used to help choose a more effective antibiotic.
