SHEDDING TEARS MAY HELP DIABETICS WATCH SUGAR

Shedding Tears May Help Diabetics Watch Sugar Yahoo! News Tuesday, September 16, 2003 Indraprasth (Reuters Health) – Diabetics have sugar in their tears and the amount present is a good predictor of blood sugar levels, new research shows. Dr. P. R. Chatterjee and colleagues, from the Regional Institute of Ophthalmology in Kolkata, India, studied the link between tear and blood levels of sugar in 200 people attending their clinic. Tear sugar levels were estimated with a special test strip–the Dextrostix–that was placed near the lower eyelid. Tear sugar levels were strongly linked to blood levels, the researchers report in the Journal of Association of Physicians of India. The Dextrostix test was useful in identifying people with normal blood sugar levels and people with increased levels. The amount of sugar in "tears changes proportionately with the blood level," the authors explain. "The method is very cheap and hence may have a role in community screening programs of diabetes with very little expense," they add.
