Abstract: A method includes estimating a value of a parameter indicative of an age or lifespan of a population of red blood cells of a subject, estimating a value of average glucose (AG) of the subject based on (i) the value of the parameter and (ii) a value indicative of an amount of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) of the subject, and providing information for treatment or diagnosis of a hyperglycemia condition of the subject based on the estimated value of AG.

Abstract: A system and method for modeling a blood glucose (BG) level of an individual is presented. A continuous glucose monitor (CGM) device is configured to monitor a blood glucose level of the individual. A processor is configured to receive CGM data of the individual from the CGM device, smooth the CGM data into a plurality of continuous curves, and generate an individual-level model of a BG profile of the individual using the plurality of continuous curves. The processor is configured to estimate the average blood glucose curve and inter-day variance-covariance of BG within the individual using the individual-level model, and generate a report based on the average blood glucose curve and inter-day variance-covariance of BG within the individual.

Abstract: A die head for cutting dough is disclosed. The die head includes a chamber defining a passageway for the flow of dough; a plurality of blades configured and arranged to extend across the chamber; each blade having a leading edge facing into the passageway of flow of dough and a trailing edge opposite the leading edge; and a plurality of serrations along at least one leading edge of one of the plurality of blades; the plurality of serrations configured and arranged to promote exposure of inclusions in the dough.
