I did discover a actually good paper on the ketoamine/aldimine points. From reminiscence immunofluourescence will have a tendency to only get the ketoamine, however ion chromatography will decide up a number of the aldimine as effectively. Aldmine follows glucose (to some extent each methods) by about 2 hours so you’ll find that HbA1c additionally metabolises in a pattern if that’s the case.
After I take a look at my outcomes it’s clear that some labs are choosing up the aldimine as effectively. They are typically within the vary 4.5-5 whereas others are within the vary 4.18-4.6. My spreadsheet clearly tracks which Lab I’m utilizing.
Glucose is tough to measure that reliably both by fingerstick or CGM. All of them are inclined to differ. Dexcoms will be calibrated, nevertheless. I’ve used Dexcom just a few occasions. I’m not diabetic, however I wished to have a baseline as to how my physique handles my regular weight loss plan.
different feedback right here I load some comparative outcomes from my Dexcom information:
