I undersøgelserne måltes det ” fastende ” blodglukoseniveau eller koncentrationen af et stof i blodet kaldet glykosyleret hæmoglobin (HbA1c), der giver et fingerpeg om, hvor velreguleret blodglukosen er.
The studies measured the ‘ fasting’ blood glucose levels (measured when the patient had not eaten for at least eight hours) or a substance in the blood called glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c), which gives an indication of how well the blood glucose is controlled.
