Five indices derived from twice-daily capillary blood glucose levels, taken pre-breakfast and pre-bedtime, in diabetic patients over a 5-day period have been graphically presented as Chernoff faces. Particular attention has been focussed on the linkage between features and indices. Examples are shown which illustrate varying degrees of blood glucose control amongst diabetic subjects. The results suggest that this type of graphic representation may allow better assimilation of collected blood glucose data by patients or health care personnel.
