We show the spectra of advanced glycation products in response to recent comments made by Bratchenko et al. Our results suggest that information retrieved by Raman spectroscopy is relevant to screening diabetic patients, however, the comparison carried out in our paper, between ANN and SVM, was not fair, because of the erroneous PCA selection procedure and different sources of variation present in the analysis.
