Abstract
The invention relates to a method for investigating the glucose metabolism of a human being for disease-relevant and/or disease-related particularities. The glucose concentration g(t1) to g(tn) of a body fluid is measured at time points t1 to tn that are distributed over a period of at least six hours. The data points are then determined in phase space coordinates from the glucose concentration measuring values g(t1) to g(tn). The data points are then processed to highlight disease-relevant and/or disease-related particularities of the glucose metabolism of the investigated human being. The processing of the data points can be implemented by plotting them in a phase space representation or by determining from the data points a disturbance parameter that is correlated to the severity of a disturbance of glucose metabolism.
