Background: Diabetes being the most common disorders in India, spreading like rapid fire both developed and developing countries. Salivary ghrelin is one of risk factors for causation type 2 diabetes independently from other factors. Few studies show that circulating levels are reduced patients with have a negative relation body mass index (BMI). Some also correlation between fasting salivary (FSG) blood glucose (FBG) leading to pathogenesis mellitus (DM).

Aims Objectives: This study aims (1) To correlate FSG FBG diabetics, (2) fat indices (3) ;to duration.

Materials Methods: Fifteen diabetics (10 males 5 females) belonging age 35–60 years having 2–12 no complications randomly selected this cross-sectional study. Any history systemic organ diseases, smokers, alcoholics, cancer, any oral cavity disorders, pregnancy menstrual periods excluded The Institutional Ethical Clearance obtained. level by Trinder’s method ELISA done. Pearson test

Results: Negative (r-value: −0.83, P = 0.001), BMI −0.53, 0.03), % −0.55, duration DM −0.54, 0.03) acts as an independent factor.

Conclusion: short pilot helps identifying prognostic marker diabetics. A further large number research should be taken field.
