Devices and methods capable of detecting glucose in saliva (FIG. 12). The devices feature a sensor having a substrate containing electrodes and one or more reagents on the electrodes. A detection device is operably coupled with the sensor to detect glucose based on measurement of an electrical parameter when electricity is applied to the electrode.
