Changes in the glycaemia risk index and its association with other continuous glucose monitoring metrics after initiation of an automated insulin delivery system in adults with type 1 diabetes

Diabetes Obes MetabPublished Retrospective before-after study

Authors' conclusion

GRI was highly correlated with various CGM metrics above, but not below target range, both before and after AID initiation.

Study context

Population
Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) users with T1D initiating an automated insulin delivery (AID) system
Participants
185 users
Exposure
After vs before AID initiation
Outcome
Glycaemia risk index (GRI) and its association with other CGM metrics

Glycaemia risk index (GRI) inversely correlated with TIR before AID initiation
r = −0.962
GRI inversely correlated with TIR after AID initiation
r = −0.961
GRI correlated with TAR before AID initiation
r = 0.906
GRI correlated with TAR after AID initiation

Metrics improved significantly more during night-time than daytime (P < .01)
