Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a major health care burden associated with significant morbidity and serious impact on the quality of life. Estimating blood glucose levels is the currently employed method for screening for DM. Due to the invasive nature of access to blood glucose; new methods are being suggested that depend upon different targets than blood or another biochemical pathway altogether. But these are not cost effective and have inherent limitations related to public screening. We hypothesize a simple, non invasive and cheap paper strip method to estimate tear film glucose levels for screening purposes at community level. We also discuss the ideal properties of such a paper strip and the process of validation the technique should undergo before being employed for mass usage.
