Parameter	Study groups	n	Mean±SD	ANOVA
				F	P
RBS	A1	16	95.62±3.14	282.2	<0.001*
	A2	14	96.52±3.66
	B1	14	167.07±13.68
	B2	16	165.25±11.176

*Value of P is considered statistically significant P<0.05. RBS – Random blood sugar; n – Number of participants; SD – Standard deviation; ANOVA – Analysis of variance; F – Fisher in ANOVA test; 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
