Abstract
Disclosed are systems, methods and techniques to estimate an extent of glycation of hemoglobin in a patient. In one particular implementation, although claimed subject matter is not limited in this respect, an estimate of glycation of hemoglobin in a patient may be measured based, at least in part, on blood-glucose measurements obtained from the patient.
Claims31
A method comprising:
- estimating a probability distribution associated with a probability of a hemoglobin molecule being glycated at a particular age of said hemoglobin molecule in a patient;
- and
- estimating hemoglobin A1c of said patient based, at least in part, on said probability distribution and blood-glucose measurements taken from said patient.
An apparatus comprising:
- means for estimating a probability distribution associated with a probability of a hemoglobin molecule being glycated at a particular age of said hemoglobin molecule in a patient;
- and
- means for estimating hemoglobin A1c of said patient based, at least in part, on said probability distribution and blood-glucose measurements taken from said patient.
An article comprising:
- a storage medium, said storage medium comprising machine-readable instructions stored thereon which, if executed by a computing platform, are adapted to direct said computing platform to:
- estimate a probability distribution associated with a probability of a hemoglobin molecule being glycated at a particular age of said hemoglobin molecule in a patient;
- and
- estimate hemoglobin A1c of said patient based, at least in part, on said probability distribution and blood-glucose measurements taken from said patient.
