Abstract
A method includes estimating a value of a parameter indicative of an age or lifespan of a population of red blood cells of a subject, estimating a value of average glucose (AG) of the subject based on (i) the value of the parameter and (ii) a value indicative of an amount of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) of the subject, and providing information for treatment or diagnosis of a hyperglycemia condition of the subject based on the estimated value of AG.
Claims22
A glucose monitoring device comprising:
- a glucose sensor configured to measure a value indicative of blood glucose concentration of a subject when the glucose monitoring device is worn by the subject, the value indicative of blood glucose concentration being further indicative of an estimated value of a parameter indicative of an age or lifespan of a population of red blood cells of the subject;
- and
- a controller configured to execute instructions to perform one or more operations comprising:
- estimating a value of average glucose (AG) based on (i) the estimated value of the parameter and (ii) a value indicative of an amount of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) of the subject, and
- providing, to the subject, information for treatment of diagnosis of a hyperglycemia condition of the subject based on the estimated value of AG.

- and
- a controller configured to execute instructions to perform one or more operations comprising:
- receiving a value of AG estimated based on (i) the value indicative of blood glucose concentration and (ii) a value indicative of HbA1c, and
- providing, to the subject, information for treatment or diagnosis of a hyperglycemia condition of the subject based on the estimated value of AG.

- and
- a controller configured to execute instructions to perform one or more operations comprising:
- determining a subject-specific relationship between values indicative of blood glucose concentration and values indicative of an amount of HbA1c for the subject based on the parameter, and
- providing, to the subject, information for treatment or diagnosis of a hyperglycemia condition of the subject based on a value of AG estimated from the subject-specific relationship.
