TechnicalRegister
The non-enzymatic attachment of sugar molecules to proteins or lipids, a driver of chronic diabetic complications.
The degree of haemoglobin glycation, reported as HbA1c, reflects average glycaemia over the preceding three months.
Rarity runs from 0 (a word everyone knows) to 100 (almost never seen outside specialist or literary writing). Level is the word's real difficulty on the CEFR scale, from A1 to C2.
