| Summary: | Background: To compare and correlate the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and blood and salivary glucose (mean values) in patients with diabetes and non-diabetic control group patients. Materials and Methods: In the study, 100 patients were included, 50 patients each-patients with diabetes and non-diabetic control group. Each patient had their BMI measured as well as unstimulated whole saliva collected and blood drawn. Results: When compared to BMI, blood glucose (mean), and salivary glucose (mean) in healthy controls, BMI, blood glucose, and salivary glucose values in diabetic patients were considerably higher. Conclusion: Patients who have a higher BMI are more likely to develop diabetes. |
