Abstract
A historical time series analysis is obtained from a single sample of blood by measurement of hemoglobin and an altered hemoglobin, for example, glycohemoglobin, on a cell-by-cell basis. The results are compared by ratio of glycohemoglobin to hemoglobin on a cell-by-cell basis. Since the alteration of hemoglobin is continuous and irreversible, the ordered set of ratios represents a time-series of the cells, and any deviation from normal will be readily apparent A time-series can also be derived for other constituents, the time-series representing historical data of the other constituents in the person from whom the blood sample was taken.
