Non-invasive discrimination between diabetic states (HBA1C<8% and HBA1C>10%) using photoplethysmography

Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic diseases associated with the production and/or reaction of insulin leading to hyperglycemia. Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level is generally measured for hyperglycemia. The risk of developing complications depends on both the duration of diabetes and hypergly...
