1. A system comprising:
an apparatus including a sensor configured to acquire a pulse wave of a subject; and
a device configured to estimate a state of glucose metabolism of the subject from an index which is based on the acquired pulse wave, wherein the device is configured to determine an index by performing an analysis on the pulse wave of the subject using a rising index of the pulse wave representing a ratio of a first local minimum of the pulse wave to a first local maximum of the pulse wave; and
the device is configured to estimate the state of the glucose metabolism of the subject based on a correlation between blood glucose level of a plurality of subjects and the index acquired in advance, and is configured to provide an indication of the estimated state of the glucose metabolism of the subject.
