The Data collected was subjected to Statistical Analysis by using Student T test
The correlation coefficient of salivary glucose in study and control group was calculated using unpaired T test and P value was found to be less then 0.01.
It is concluded that the fasting salivary glucose level can be used as anon invasive diagnostic as well as monitoring tool to access the Glycemic status of diabetes Mellitus subjects.
