Zusammenfassung:The evidence presented in this report suggests that, in both a healthy people and patient populations, there are clinical and biochemical (fasting serum glucose) gradations of health and sickness. What is particularly fascinating is the fact that, as one progressively develops a symptomless and signfree subset, the blood glucose levels become more homogeneous, meaning that glucose scores cluster to the mean. This enhances the diagnostic, therapeutic and predictive utility of blood glucose scores. While such clinicobiochemical parallelisms are clear, it is essential to mention the point that they do not necessarily prove cause-and-effect. But our interest has been sufficiently stimulated to study several other possible correlates between biochemical variances and the degree of reported symptomatology.
