Abstract
Background: The estimation of diabetes mellitus may be done with blood investigations. Saliva is only one of its kind and curiosity in it as a diagnostic media has vastly developed. The present study was conducted to correlate the salivary glucose level with blood glucose level in diabetes patients. Materials & Methods: Group I included controlled DM patients, group II had uncontrolled DM patients and group III had non diabetic subjects (Control). In all subjects, saliva and blood samples were collected after 8 hour of fasting, 2 hour after meal at afternoon and one more sample in the evening to estimate FBG, PPBG and RBG level. Results: FBG was significantly (P-0.001) higher in group II as compared to group I and group III. The PPBG level was significantly (P-0.001) higher in group II as compared to group I and group III and RBG was also higher in group II as compared to group I and group III. There was a significant correlation between FBG and FSG in all groups (P<0.05). Conclusion: Salivary glucose level in increased in DM patients. Saliva is a excellent diagnostic tool to detect diabetes.
