The relationship between diabetic retinopathy and hypothyroidism and time-in-range percentages of glucoses using the viscoplastic energy model of GH-Method: math- physical medicine (No. 951, VMT #350, 11/12/2023)

Abstract

Gerald C Hsu

Upon reviewing a PubMed article (referenced in this paper's section of introduction) comparing diabetic retinopathy (DR) conditions and hypothyroidism (elevated TSH) with glucose time-in-range percentages, the author was intrigued about applying a different research method, the space-domain Viscoplastic Medicine model (SD-VMT) alongside traditional statistical correlations to his own collected data.

For this investigation, the author utilized six years of personal data obtained through a Libre brand continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) device from 5/1/2018 to 11/11/2023. To maximize data utilization, the author estimated Time in Range (TIR) for 2017. Despite this being an estimate, the author believes it won't significantly distort conclusions due to the SD-VMT method's initialization process.
