Abstract
As fluoride inhibits Glycolysis we conducted a preliminary study to analyse the effect of fluoride on blood glucose in the individuals of endemic fluorosis area .
The study was conducted to correlate the serum fluoride with blood glucose levels in a population living in endemic fluorosis area
The present study included serum samples of 104 male and female of various age groups 20 – 70 yrs. The patients had attended OPD of Kamineni Institute of medical sciences hospital and advised for RBS. Blood glucose was estimated by hexokinase method using Dade Behring Dimension AR. Serum fluoride was estimated using ion selective electrode ECOSAN statistical analysis was done by using SPSS software.
Based on our findings, we made 3 different groups .Group-I comprised of both having increased RBS and fluoride levels(Males 4%, Females 5%) Group II comprised of patients having increased serum fluoride levels with normo glycemia (Males 44% Females 44%) and Group III consisted of patients having hyper glycemia and normal fluoride ( Males 8% Females 1%).Results obtained were compared between groups I,II,III.
There was no significant correlation between serum fluoride and hyper glycemia in endemic fluorosis area. This could be due to less sample number. None the less we are still continuing with the study.

Comparative study of the effect of sodium fluoride and sodium monofluorophosphate on glucose homeostasis in the rat.
The effect of acute and chronic administration of sodium fluoride (NaF) or sodium monofluorophosphate (MFP) on the glucose homeostasis of the rat are compared. The oral administration of a single dose of 40 mumol/100 g b.w. of either compound produced similar increases in plasma glucose (up to 1.8 g/l) and

Ameliorative effect of tamarind leaf on fluoride-induced metabolic alterations
OBJECTIVES: Fluoride is a serious health hazard across several nations, and chronic intake of fluoride deranges the carbohydrate, lipid and antioxidant metabolism in general. As there are limited remedial measures to prevent fluorosis, we investigated the role of tamarind leaf as a food supplement in restoration of carbohydrate, lipid and

Therapeutic benefits of glibenclamide in fluoride intoxicated diabetic rats.
To examine its antidiabetic potential in fluoride (F) intoxicated rats, the anti-diabetic drug glibenclamide was administered for 4 weeks to diabetic rats and to diabetic rats exposed to 100 mg NaF/L in the drinking water. In the F treated rats there was a significant reduction in plasma glucose, plasma and

Vitamin D deficiency in patients with diabetes and its correlation with water fluoride levels.
Chronic exposure to fluoride through drinking water has been linked to insulin resistance and resulting type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Here, we aim to study the impact of water fluoride levels on blood glucose and vitamin D levels. A hospital-based study was conducted on diabetic patients (n = 303) at

Topical fluorides: effects on physiologic and biochemical processes
The ingestion of fluoride from dentifrices or mouthrinses can contribute substantially to the total daily intake of the ion, even in communities that provide optimally fluoridated drinking water. It is concluded that the frequent and unsupervised use of these products by children six years of age or younger, especially those living in

Fluoride & Insulin
Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that is responsible for maintaining appropriate levels of glucose in the blood. Insulin allows the body’s cells to take up glucose from the blood, and either use it as an energy source or store it as glycogen. Blood glucose levels in diabetics

Fluoride & Impaired Glucose Tolerance
The proper regulation of blood glucose levels is essential to good health. When the body's ability to regulate blood glucose levels falters, as occurs in diabetes mellitus, chronic elevated glucose levels (hyperglycemia) can lead to serious complications. These consequences include damage to the kidneys, nervous system, cardiovascular system, retina, legs
