A COMPARATIVE AND CORRELATIVE STUDY BETWEEN BLOOD AND SALIVARY GLUCOSE WITH BLOOD HbA1c IN TYPE 2 DIABETES
Diabetes is a non-communicable disease characterized by increased blood glucose. As regular monitoring of glucose and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels in diabetic individual’s blood causes psychological stress, development of a non-invasive technique to quantify glucose and HbA1c are essential. This study was carried out to compare and correlate the blood and salivary glucose and blood HbA1c l...
