Abstract :
Aim :– To compare the glucose levels in gingival crevicular blood and capillary blood from finger puncture of diabetic with non–diabetic population and to assess the correlation of GBGL (Gingival blood glucose level) with CBGL (Capillary blood glucose level). Methods :– 90 patients with moderate to severe periodontitis with uncontrolled diabetes, control diabetes and no diabetes were selected. Patients were divided into 3 groups. 30 participants in each group based on their glycosylated hemoglobin level (HbA1c). (As per standards of medical care in diabetes by American Diabetes Association in 2013). Periodontal examination was performed using a William’s graduated probe. Blood oozing from gingival tissues during periodontal examination was collected on the strip of the glucose self–monitoring device (Accuchek, Roche Diagnostics, Germany). Then the finger stick capillary blood was drawn as controls. Statistical analysis was performed using ANOVA test and Pearson’s correlation coefficient. Results :– The prevalence of diabetes in periodontal patients was found to be 46.67%. The GBGL and CBGL derived from all samples were 150.93 mg/dl and 156.36 mg/dl respectively. Highly significant differences between diabetic and non–diabetic periodontal patients were found with respect to GBGL and CBGL. Highly significant correlation between CBGL and GBGL (p<0.001) was found. Conclusions :– Both the GBGL and CBGL were significantly greater in diabetics than their non–diabetic counterparts and the GBGL correlated with CBGL
