Hello, I hope you can help me, I have a confusion in determining the value of delta glucose in a postpadrial glucose curve, I understand that this value comes from the difference between two-hour post-pandrial glucose and fasting glucose, then what I do Is the fasting glucose value subtracted from each measured glucose value at 30, 60, 90 and 120 min? or as? someone who has calculated that can help me.
Hi Belinda, I am not totally sure I understand your question. As indicator, 2h-PP is used based on the glucose value after 2hrs and the fasting blood glucose indeed. Another analysis you can do is to calculate the Area Under the Curve (AUC) of your curve. This AUC can be compared between several individuals.
I hope it helps.

Hi Belinda
delta (d) Glucose is the difference between 2hPPG minus FBG.
In cases where you have values at different time points, I believe it is customary to use AUC (area under the curve) or iAUC (incremental area under the curve) instead of delta.
