Hypotheses regarding GlycoMark Test

Dr. Weyrich considers the GlycoMark test to be most useful when A1c suggests reasonable control of average blood glucose. If A1c is excessively high, there is no pointing doing a GlycoMark test, since we already know that if the average glucose is already too high, it follows that there must also be high peak glucose levels.
