In a retrospective examination of studies (see below) evaluating the use of GlycoMark to monitor exenatide, pramlintide, sitagliptin, and biphasic insulin therapies, GlycoMark reflected changes in after-meal glucose levels more dynamically than A1C in moderately controlled patients - underscoring the ability of GlycoMark to detect underlying treatment effects on after-meal glucose not revealed by A1C. The study, "The Use of 1,5-Anhydroglucitol (GlycoMark) to Monitor New Classes of Therapies for Managing Post-meal Glucose in Patients with Diabetes," was presented at the recent American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists 2008 annual meeting in Orlando, Florida. Authors of the study included Steven Wittlin (University of Rochester), Toshikazu Yamanouchi (Teikyo University School of Medicine) and Antonio Ceriello (Warwick Medical School).
