Salivary hormones and adipokines are associated with glycemic control and early renal and cardiometabolic markers in children and young adults with type 1 diabetes.

Article C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

In 349 children and young adults with type 1 diabetes, levels of certain hormones in saliva were linked to blood sugar control and early signs of kidney or heart problems. Because this is an observational study, it shows a link but does not prove that salivary changes cause kidney issues.
