Control of nocturnal hypoglycemia by CGM-based AI-enabled nocturnal hypoglycemia prediction: A retrospective analysis of real-world data

Diabetes Res Clin PractPublished Retrospective analysis of real-world data

Authors' conclusion

NLP use is associated with lower odds of nocturnal hypoglycemia in people with diabetes without raising odds of hyperglycemia, offering valuable self-management support.

Study context

Population
People with diabetes using the Accu-Chek SmartGuide Predict app, aged 20–84 years; users without nocturnal hypoglycemic events excluded159 for L2 analyses
Participants

Follow-up
Per night
Methodological detailsdeidentified, aggregated app-user data, within-user comparison of nights

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

Odds of hypoglycemic events of any severity (<70 mg/dL) in a given night, NLP vs no prediction

20.0 % lower

Odds of any TB70

31.2 % lower

Observational data: associations, not effects.

Further findings
