INTRODUCTION

This study was evaluate the tear glucose estimation and relationship between tear and plasma glucose concentration and to

evaluate the role of tear glucose as indicator of plasma glucose level.

METHODOLOGY

95 Patients were divided in 4groups. 30 patients on oral antidiabetics drugs,30 on inj. insulin , 5 uncontrolled diabetics and 30 in

control group.The determination of glucose concentration was carried out in tear by an semiautoanalyser or in blood by

autoanalyser– using glucose oxidase peroxidase method

RESULT

Statistical analysis revealed that in the diabetics on oral antidiabeticdurgs, on inj. insulin and in the control group ,the magnitude

of correlation between blood and tears glucose values is statically significant (i.e.P<0.05)

CONCLUSION

Tear glucose estimation is a simple and more efficacious method for detection of diabetes . it is simple screening procedure for

diabetes mellitus and rapid indirect measurement of hyperglycemia not only ophthalmologist but also for a physician
