Figure 2
The measured and the predicted HbA 1c during in vitro cultivation of erythrocytes from patients with type 1 diabetes. The measured (mean ± SD) HbA1c levels are shown as white circles with error bars and the mean predicted HbA1c levels are shown as: dash-dot lines, dashed line, dotted line and solid line for the counter-chronological, the uniform, the chronological and the combined (i.e. containing the chronological and the uniform component) loss of erythrocytes from the culturing medium, respectively. Glucose concentration is equal to: (A) 5.2 mmol/l; (B) 10.5 mmol/l; (C) 15.7 mmol/l.
