Detection of molecular genetics to do diabetes mellitus no longer need blood, and a special liquid rinse with mouthwash, doctors isolated oral exfoliated cells from the DNA, detection of its associated genes, will be able to early detection of diabetic complications related gene abnormalities, thus guidance in patients with early intervention and delayed complications. This is a Department of Endocrinology, Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University, Professor Xu Yan-cheng, led the research team completed the research results, and the results obtained in Hubei Province Science and Technology Progress Award in 2005 second prize.

According to Prof. Xu introduced the main hazard is the complications of diabetes can be said that, diabetes, high blood sugar diabetes complications, more terrible than that. Detection of diabetic complications of traditional genes carried through the blood, this approach will lead to patients with trauma, pain, as well as the risk of cross infection.

In order to solve these problems, the last century, 90 years, the research team led by Professor Xu began to study the non-blood cells in diabetes and its complications related genes and found oral exfoliated cells and blood leukocytes in the consistency of the results of DNA testing is 100% . The last two years, the National dozen or so units renowned medical clinical practice confirmed by detection of exfoliated cells of oral complications of diabetes is a kind of drawn simple, safe and painless, non-polluting and cross-infection. At the same time, this method is easy to identify high-risk groups, is conducive to early diagnosis and early treatment.
