Objective: To validate an ion exchange high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) method for measuring glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in gingival crevicular blood (GCB) spotted on filter paper, for use in screening dental patients for diabetes.
Methods: We collected the GCB specimens for this study from the oral cavities of patients during dental visits, using rigorous strategies to obtain GCB that was as free of debris as possible. The analytical performance of the HPLC method was determined by measuring the precision, linearity, carryover, stability of HbA1c in GCB, and correlation of HbA1c results in GCB specimens with finger-stick blood (FSB) specimens spotted on filter paper.
Results: The coefficients of variation (CVs) for the inter- and intrarun precision of the method were less than 2.0%. Linearity ranged between 4.2% and 12.4%; carryover was less than 2.0%, and the stability of the specimen was 6 days at 4°C and as many as 14 days at -70°C. Linear regression analysis comparing the HbA1c results in GCB with FSB yielded a correlation coefficient of 0.993, a slope of 0.981, and an intercept of 0.13. The Bland-Altman plot showed no difference in the HbA1c results from the GCB and FSB specimens at normal, prediabetes, and diabetes HbA1c levels.
Conclusion: We validated an HPLC method for measuring HbA1c in GCB; this method can be used to screen dental patients for diabetes.

Objective: There are 500 million patients living with diabetes mellitus worldwide and 50% of them remain undiagnosed. Routine periodontal probing provides gingival crevicular blood in patients with gingivitis. Gingival blood may be useful for diabetes screening without the need for any expensive, painful or time-consuming method by using convenient glucometers.

Blood matrix-based HbA1C materials are needed for quality control and evaluation of HbA1C measurements. This study investigated the commutability of blood materials (BMs) and aimed to upgrade BMs for HbA1C testing for use as proficiency test (PT) material.

Aims: Gastrointestinal disorders, including constipation and fecal incontinence, are common in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and may derive from diabetic autonomic neuropathy, severe intestinal bacterial overgrowth, or a dysfunctional anorectal sphincter. The present study aims to characterize the correlation between these conditions.
Methods: Patients with T2DM, prediabetes, and normal glucose tolerance (NGT) were included.

Background/purpose: The early diagnosis of diabetes is essential for the prevention of complications. Periodontitis has been identified as the sixth complication of diabetes and chair-side screening may improve diagnosis of diabetes. This study evaluated whether gingival crevicular blood (GCB) available during routine periodontal examination can be used to screen for diabetes in Chinese patients with moderate to severe periodontitis.
