Tears, saliva, blood glucose levels can be detected

Tears can be accurately measured blood glucose is
The latest research shows that diabetes tears also contain sugar, but can be very accuratelyreflects the blood sugar level.
According to Reuters, the United States Institute of Ophthalmology, Indiana, Dr. Chatterjee 200 patients studied, hoping to find the tears and blood that may exist between the various links. The results, Dr. Chatterjee found that tears of the sugar content and sugar content is very close. Not only that, when the body's blood sugar levels change, the tears of the sugar content will change accordingly.
For diabetic patients, this is a good news, because tears sugar test is much lower than the cost of blood tests, and does not hurt. Dr. Chatterjee hopes to constantly improve the technology to be extended to a wider range.
There studies have shown that saliva can measure blood sugar
Oregon and Indiana first time, researchers found that some patients with diabetes in some of theprotein content of saliva was significantly higher than non-diabetics. Use of these proteins, they are committed to developing a new test method to diagnose diabetes, and track treatment.
Nevertheless, the University of California associate professor of clinical pharmacology MarthaRennie Mackintosh believes that this approach will not soon replace blood tests nowadays. "This is an interesting and novel approach, although not necessarily apply in the future diagnosis and treatment of diabetes, but very meaningful for diabetes research."
