Diabetes risk assessment in adult population without diabetes employing continuous glucose monitoring: A novel approach

Diabetes Res Clin PractPublished Prospective observational study

Authors' conclusion

CGM provides highly useful information for predicting type 2 diabetes. In healthy individuals, exhibiting glucose levels at or above 130 mg/dL for over 10 % of the time over at least two monitoring days show a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

Study context

Population
Adults without diabetes at baseline who completed continuous glucose monitoring (CGM); median age 46 (range 18–82)
Participants
513 adults
Exposure
Individuals who developed diabetes vs those who did not
Outcome
Optimal cutoff for % of time glucose exceeds a threshold to predict diabetes onset
Follow-up
Median 10.8 years

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

Optimal CGM cutoff for predicting diabetes onset · median 10.8 years
  • Most significant differences between those who developed diabetes and those who did not with a cutoff of ≥ 130 mg/dL for at least 10 % of monitoring time

Observational data: associations, not effects.

Further findings

Age · older with diabetes onset

P < 0.001

BMI · higher with diabetes onset

P < 0.001
