Glycaemic variability in diabetes: a tool for assessing the quality of glycaemic control and the risk of complications

The routine approach to evaluating the effectiveness of diabetes treatment based on the level of glycated haemoglobin (HbA. 1c) accounts for the average glucose level but does not consider the scope and frequency of its fluctuations. The development of computational methods to analyse glycaemic osci...
