The 24-hour WMG is derived from multiple glucose values collected during both fasting and post-meal periods. A "weighted" rather than a "simple" mean is used to avoid overrepresentation of post-meal glucose values.

Blood samples for glucose were to be collected immediately prior to (sample -10 minutes), and 0, 15, 30, 60, 90, 120, and 180 minutes after each meal, and overnight (at midnight, 3 AM, and 5 AM) and fasting at 7 AM. Patients were to be domiciled for approximately 26 hours at the site where standard meals were provided and physical activity monitored.
