I alle undersøgelserne målte man koncentrationen af blodglukosen i ” fastende ” tilstand (målingen foregik efter, at der ikke var indtaget føde i mindst otte timer) eller af et stof i blodet kaldet glykosyleret hæmoglobin (HbA1c), der viser, hvor godt blodglukosen reguleres.
All of the studies measured the level of ‘ fasting’ blood glucose (measured after not eating for at least eight hours) or of a substance in the blood called glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c), which gives an indication of how well blood glucose is controlled.
