Parameter	Groups	Mean±SD	ANOVA

RBS – Random blood sugar; SD – Standard Deviation; ANOVA – Analysis of variance; F – Fisher in ANOVA test; *Value of P is considered statistically significant P<0.05. P – Probability; T2DM – Type 2 diabetes mellitus; A1 – Periodontitis participants receiving scaling and root planing alone; A2 – Periodontitis participants receiving scaling and root planing with adjunctive low-level laser therapy; B1 – Periodontitis participants with T2DM receiving scaling and root planing alone; B2 – Periodontitis participants with T2DM receiving scaling and root planing with adjunctive low level-laser therapy
