A new test in the battle to treat and manage diabetes is now available and provides a better snapshot of the rise and fall of a patient?s glucose levels.
Physicians across Wichita Falls are turning to GlycoMark, a simple blood test that measures ?hidden glucose peaks? and could affect therapy regimens depending on the results. Vicki McMullen, compliance officer at Community Healthcare Center in Wichita Falls, said it doesn?t replace traditional measurements, such as a fasting blood glucose or hemoglobin A1C. Rather, it supplements other tests and provides a more specific measure during a two-week period.
