Evaluation of the Correlation between Salivary Glucose and Ph and Blood Sugar in Diabetic Patients (A Pilot Study)
Introduction: Changes in saliva in diabetic patients reduce the quality of life associated with oral health in these patients. Given the chronic course of the disease, its rapid identification can significantly reduce long-term complications. The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation...

| Summary: | Introduction: Changes in saliva in diabetic patients reduce the quality of life associated with oral health in these patients. Given the chronic course of the disease, its rapid identification can significantly reduce long-term complications. The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between saliva Ph and glucose with blood sugar in diabetic patients.
Methods: This pilot study was performed on 13 patients with type 2 diabetes, who were evaluated for FBS, HbA1C, as well as salivary glucose and Ph. The data were analyzed using SPSS 16 statistical software.
Results: There was a positive and significant correlation between blood sugar (FBS, HbA1C) and salivary glucose (correlation of FBS with salivary glucose: P=0.028, R=0.607 and correlation of HbA1c with salivary glucose P <0.0001 and R = 0.882).
Conclusion: According to the results of the present study regarding the correlation between blood and salivary glucose in diabetic patients, employing saliva samples is recommended as a cost-effective, non-invasive and reliable approach for the valuation, diagnosis and follow-up individuals with diabetic. |
