Decreased complexity of glucose dynamics in diabetes in rhesus monkeys.

ABSTRACT: Until recently, preclinical and clinical work on diabetes has focused on the understanding of blood glucose elevation and its detrimental metabolic sequelae. The advent of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) technology now allows real time monitoring of blood glucose levels as a time series, and thus the exploration of glucose dynamics at short time scales. Previous work has shown decreases in the complexity of glucose dynamics, as measured by multiscale entropy (MSE) analysis, in diabetes in humans, mice, and rats. Analyses for non-human primates (NHP) have not been reported, nor is it known if anti-diabetes compounds affect complexity of glucose dynamics. We instrumented four healthy and six diabetic rhesus monkeys with CGM probes in the carotid artery and collected glucose values at a f
