Association of phenylthiocarbamide taste sensitivity with diabetes mellitus in Bangladesh.

Screening for phenylthiocarbamide (PTC) taste insensitivity was performed and PTC taste threshold values using 13 solutions were obtained for 102 newly detected male diabetics and 103 male non-diabetics aged 21-40 years. The study revealed a significant difference in taste sensitivity to the bitterness of PTC crystals between the diabetics and non-diabetics, the former being less sensitive than the latter (16.7 vs. 6.8%).
