Correlation Between Saliva And Glucose Study

Aims and Objectives: To detect and compare salivary glucose with plasma glucose level and PPBS(Postprandial ) and FBS (Fasting blood sugar) in diabetic and non-diabetic subjects. Material and Method: A total of 100 patients were participated in the study. They were divided into 2 groups, each group consist of 50 patients. Unstimulated saliva and blood were collected and investigated for glucose levels.
Results and conclusion: FBS, PPBS, Plasma glucose levels and salivary glucose levels were higher in diabetic patients than healthy controls.FBS, PPBS, Plasma glucose level and salivary glucose levels were significantly correlated with each other in diabetic patients
Keywords: hyperglycemia, diabetes mellitus, saliva

MATERIALS AND METHODS With Ethical approval from the institutional ethical committee, the present study was carried out. In the study group we have selected 50 diabetic patients randomly. We have also selected 50 healthy patients as controls. In diabetic patients both type 1 and type 2 diabetic patients were included.
Inclusion criteria:
1) Any well-established cases of diabetes mellitus (either Insulin dependent diabetes mellitus / Non insulin dependent diabetes mellitus ) diagnosed with features of polyuria, polydypsia, polyphagia and unexplained weight loss and elevated blood glucose levels or FBS( Fasting blood sugar), as per the criteria established by the Expert Committee on Diagnosis and Classification of Diabetes Mellitus in 1980.8
2) Patients should not taking any medicines or insulin for diabetes mellitus.
3) For healthy control, patient should be non-diabetic and blood glucose levels should be within normal limits.
4) All the patients in this study should not have any other systemic disease.
