J Diabetes Sci TechnolPublished Development and validation of a meal detection-based tool

Authors' conclusion

This framework enables insights into meal announcement patterns that may support patient counseling, clinical decision support, and large-scale analyses in AHCL systems.

Study context

Population

Participants
157 individuals
Target condition
Meal events

Proportion of on-time announcements and time in range (TIR)

Correlation of higher proportion of on-time announcements with higher TIR (ρ)
0.375
Increase in TIR per 10% increase in on-time announcements
2.66%
Higher proportion of on-time announcements correlated with lower hyperglycemia

Delay of late announcements and postprandial glycemic outcomes

Increasing delay of late announcements was associated with worse postprandial glycemic outcomes
