Abstract
This study aim to discuss whether saliva glucose levels (SGL) are applicable to use as an index of diagnosis for diabetic mellitus. We compared the SGL of normal subjects and diabetic subjects. As the results, the data were obtained suggesting that it was preferable to use submandibular and sublingual saliva for estimating blood glucose levels (BGL) as the daily variations in the correlation between BGL and parotid gland SGL in individuals were too big. Also, when SGL of normal subjects and diabetic subjects were compared upon glucose loading, distinct difference are observed between them suggesting that monitoring of SGL can be used for judgment of diabetic mellitus
