Estimated average glucose integration and A1c prime: a novel algorithm for quantifying glycaemic control over time

Type 2 diabetes is a pathological condition characterised by impaired glucose metabolism resulting in abnormally high blood glucose levels. Chronically elevated glucose is associated with myriad consequences including atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), peripheral vascular disease, microvascular complications, stroke and increased mortality. 1 2 The impact of hyperglycaemia and insulin resistance is compounded with increasing years of exposure.1 2
