Abstract Diabetes mellitus is one disease which can cause death . The objective from this work is the use of salivary amylase as the detector for the presence of diabetes. In Al Suleimania at Shaheed Shawkat hospital this small pilot study was made comparison for the amount of salivary amylase by taking saliva sample from 30 diabetic patients and 30 no diabetic as control and measure the amount of amylase to compare the results between them. We find Significant increase of salivary amylase in diabetic group in comparison with control group. This study represented a continuation for another research which use saliva in the diagnosis of diabetic rather than the uses of blood or urine. I suggest to consider these results as a base for further wide researches for samples from different cities in Iraq.
