[Incidence of xerostomia in patients with drug-controlled diabetes mellitus].

Abstract

A hundred and fifty patients with drug-controlled diabetes mellitus complaining for xerostomia were examined, in order to evaluate the incidence of xerostomia with sex, duration of the disease and recent value of blood glucose. Xerostomia was recorded in 76% of the patients with a predilection for women (50.87%). Finally, the incidence of xerostomia was not related with duration of the disease and recent value of blood glucose.
