HbA1c reflects (is proportional to I think) the area under the curve of blood glucose.
The problems with trying to derive the area under the curve from the number of readings that anyone could reasonably do in a day or even in a number of days collapsed into one is formidable if not impossible. Calibrating the individual over a period of time, and then relating collections of measured glucose readings to measured HbA1c readings to provide a guesstimate is conceivable. My car has some logic in its instrumentation that forms an opinion on when it should next be serviced. It is reasonable to think that a program receiving GLucose readings might similarly form an opinion on when the next clinica appointment should be, or rather needs to be. THis might improve scheduling of DIabetic care, and by focussing on people whose control is less good, or whose control is unknown since no readings are accumulating, improve the results. Possibly. Good work on those pages, thanks. ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Fair play? Video games influencing politics.
