Glycomark Test

GlycoMark - Introduction

Has anyone heard of or had this test done before? I was reading about it and it seems really interesting in that it complements the A1C in giving the subject value for their mealtime spikes over a 2 day to 2 week period. I'm just wondering if anyone has ever had one done and if it was useful at all.

Diabetes is an Art, NOT a Science. You must master the control by skills and not by knowledge alone.

I read it too. It seems like it would give you a breakdown by hour over a shorter time. I think it would be good to get once in awhile but if you are testing 5 x a day, you probably would not get any surprises. I think it would be most beneficial after some change to see how things are working out
