Accounting for Hypoglycemia Treatments in Continuous Glucose Metrics.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is increasingly used in the management of diabetes, providing dense data for patients and clinical providers to review and identify patterns and trends in blood glucose. However, behavioral factors like hypoglycemia treatments (HTs) are not captured in CGM data. Hypoglycemia treatments, by definition, reduce the visibility (frequency and duration) of hypoglycemia exposure recorded by CGM, which can lead to errors in treatment management when relying solely on CGM metrics.

Methods

We propose a method to incorporate HTs into CGM-based metrics and standardize hypoglycemia exposure quantification for a variety of HT behaviors; specifically (1) treatment proactiveness and (2) potential severity of the avoided hypoglycemia. In additio
