[QUOTE="DragonBits, post: 142061, member: 18023"] GlycoMark® is an interesting test that looks more at glucose spikes occurring post-prandial and not showing up in HbA1c. Though am not going to get this, I assume if I monitor every 30 min or so after a meal I could catch the same sort of spikes. I would get the test if I had a more serious problem with BG. =========================================== [B]Intended Use[/B]: The GlycoMark® test may be performed monthly on individuals with moderately controlled diabetes and HbA1c of 6-8% to detect glucose excursions, and to monitor efficacy of therapy changes in diabetic individuals with high HbA1c (>8%). [B]Clinical Significance:[/B] [LIST] [*]The GlycoMark® test helps identify patients with more frequent and extreme hyperglycemic excursions over the previous 2 week time period, despite similar HbA1c levels, and indicates the need for more frequent self-blood glucose monitoring or continuous glucose monitoring. [*]Approximately 40% of individuals with diabetes who are “controlled” for glucose and HbA1c testing have significant post-prandial glucose variablility. In fact, the average blood glucose in an individual with an HbA1c of 7% can range from 123 to 185 mg/dL2. [*]Low levels of 1,5-AG are associated with the presence of diabetes complications. For example, low circulating levels of 1,5-AG are associated with elevated levels of urinary albumin and N-acetylglucosaminidase, both markers of renal damage.
