Saliva test for sugar levels in diabetes
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study is testing a new way to measure blood sugar using saliva instead of blood. It may offer a less painful way to check glucose levels, especially for people with type 2 diabetes or those at risk.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 80 years old.
- You must either have type 2 diabetes or not have diabetes at all.
- You must not have used steroid medication (like prednisone) in the last 6 weeks.
- You must not have an acute infection (like a cold or flu) at the time of the study.
- You must not have severe mouth or dental problems that could affect saliva collection.
- If you have diabetes, you must not be currently taking SGLT2 inhibitor medications (like dapagliflozin or empagliflozin).

This study checks if a simple saliva test can find high cortisol levels in people with hard-to-control type 2 diabetes. It aims to help doctors identify if cortisol problems are making diabetes worse.
This trial is checking how well blood sugar is controlled in adults recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes (within the last 3 months). It aims to see if current treatments or lifestyle changes are working and may help guide future care.
This study is testing a new device that measures blood sugar without a finger prick. It is open to healthy adults and people with type 2 diabetes, to see if the non-invasive meter works as well as standard blood tests.
This study looks at how your diet affects blood sugar spikes after meals. You will wear a small sensor that tracks your glucose for a short time, and you will keep a record of what you eat so the research team can see which foods may lead to higher or lower blood sugar.
This study checks whether certain substances in saliva can help detect gum disease in people with type 2 diabetes. It compares the levels of these substances in people with diabetes and gum disease, people with gum disease only, people with diabetes only, and healthy volunteers.
This trial tests a new breath-based sensor to detect low or high blood sugar (hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia) in people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes. It might offer a non-invasive way to monitor glucose levels.
