Haemoglobin, haematocrit and red blood cell indices in elite cyclists. Are the control values for blood testing valid?
The current haematocrit limit used in blood tests might lead to a high number of false positive tests.
CGM detects abnormalities in glycemic control in a manner heretofore impossible to obtain. However, our studies revealed sufficient incongruence between simultaneous laboratory blood glucose levels and interstitial fluid glucose (after calibrations) to question the fundamental assumption that interstitial fluid glucose and blood glucose could be made identical by resorting to algorithms based on concurrent blood glucose levels alone.
