diabetes, salivary glycated albumin, HbA1c
Brief summary
(1) to determine whether the ratio of glycated albumin and total albumin in saliva is equivalent to blood and (2) to investigate whether the non-invasive SmartAlbu portable salivary sensor is as accurate as standard tests that measure glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c).
Interventions
Plan: 1. Consent an individual 2. Measure and record temperature, blood pressure, heart rate, height and weight 3. Obtain two samples of saliva for the SmartAlbu portable salivary sensor 4. Take a venous blood sample for HbA1c and 5. Glycated albumin 6. Obtain blood sample from a finger stick for point of care HbA1c device
