What is it about?
To manage diabetes, early morning (wake up/nocturnal fasting) finger-prick blood sugar/glucose levels are the most popular self-monitoring events. The authors have developed a simple connection from these fasting levels to the clinically important A1c-related average sugar levels. Hence, patient and doctors get immediate daily impact of lifestyle changes and regimen titrations using any glucose meter device.
