ABSTRACT
Objective:
The objective of this study was to estimate and correlate salivary glucose levels and plasma glucose levels in non-diabetic subjects, controlled and uncontrolled diabetic subjects and to assess if salivary glucose can be a potentially useful non-invasive tool in diagnosing diabetes mellitus and in monitoring of glycemic control in diabetic patients. Materials andmethods:
A total of 90 subjects aged between 40-60 years participated in the study. Diabetic status was determined by estimation of random non-fasting plasma glucose levels and Glycosylated haemoglobin levels. Both unstimulated and stimulated saliva were collected and investigated for glucose levels. Salivary glucose levels were measured using the glucose oxidase method.Results:
Salivary glucose levels were significantly higher in diabetics than non-diabetics. Mean un-stimulated salivary glucose level was 1.15 mg/dL in control group, 2.04 mg/dL in controlled diabetic group and 3.99 mg/dL in un-controlled diabetic group. There was a significant positive correlation between salivary and plasma glucose levels.Conclusion:
These results show that salivary glucose concentration can be used as a potentially useful non-invasive tool for diagnosing diabetes mellitus and monitoring glycemic control in diabetic patients.
