  • Title: Salivary glucose levels and oral candidal carriage in Type 2 diabetics.
    Author: Bhattacharyya A, Chandra S, Singh A, Raj V, Gupta B.
    Journal: J Oral Biol Craniofac Res; 2018; 8(3):158-164. PubMed ID: 30191100.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: To assess the correlation between salivary glucose and blood glucose levels in diabetics and non diabetics and to study the association between salivary glucose levels and oral candidal carriage in patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus. MATERIAL AND METHOD: The study sample was divided into two groups, control and study group. The study group was again divided into two separate groups controlled diabetics and uncontrolled diabetics. Blood and saliva samples (for fasting and postprandial) were taken from each individual. RESULTS: The salivary glucose levels, highly correlated with blood glucose levels in both diabetic as well as non diabetics subjects. Salivary candidal carriage was more in oral cavity of Type 2 diabetic subjects than control subjects. CONCLUSION: Saliva has the potential to be used as a noninvasive tool to monitor glycemic status of diabetic patients.
