Scientists have invented a new technology that can measure blood sugar more accurately
Scientists from the Harvard Medical School and the Massachusetts General Hospital have invented instruments that can measure blood glucose levels in diabetics for longer periods of time. Based on the life span of red blood cells in the patient's body, this new measurement measures the mean level of blood glucose more accurately and individually for almost 3 months and compares its error rate to our previously used A1c (HbA1c) Reduce by 50%. Senior researcher John Higgins said: "Our most commonly used standard measurement technology does not achieve the accuracy it should be.Our research not only pointed out the root causes, but also provided a new method.A1c test Easily lead to inaccurate measurement results, the research team found that this inaccuracy comes from the individual differences between the red blood cells in the human body. Scientists have developed a new blood glucose estimation technique that takes into account the age of the red blood cells and tested its accuracy by comparing its results with the results of real-time blood glucose tests on patients. Experts said: "By estimating the blood glucose level of the patient for nearly three months, it is important for us to understand the extent of control of the disease and the prediction of complications. Persistent hyperglycemia can damage our heart, kidneys, brain, eyes, Brain and other organs. " But the body's blood glucose level changes over time, and getting an average of one blood glucose is more valuable than knowing the level of blood sugar over a period of time, compared to measuring blood glucose levels at a single point in time. Before we in order to obtain the average blood glucose, we usually use the A1c test. This method of detection is somewhat inaccurate. Although it is not yet clear exactly what caused the inaccuracy, the scientists recently suspected different "ages" of red blood cells were the main factors. "Older erythrocytes absorb more glucose than younger erythrocytes, so scientists with two people who actually have the same blood glucose levels will have different blood glucose levels because of the range of ages of their red blood cells," scientists said. To estimate the impact of "different ages" of red blood cells on the measurement, scientists have invented a formula based on many data. In addition, scientists also compared the results of this post-calibration test with both A1c and real-time glucose monitors. The results showed that the error of our A1c test results was about 16mg / dl or more, but the improved detection method can greatly reduce this error. All in all, the experts said that the progress of this technology is also of great significance for the diagnosis, condition monitoring and treatment of diabetic patients.
