Diversity of Daily Glycemic Phenotypes Is Independently Associated With HbA1c: A Time-Resolved Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) Clustering Analysis

J Diabetes Sci TechnolPublished Cross-sectional study

Authors' conclusion

Time-resolved CGM clustering reveals clinically meaningful daily glycemic phenotypes and demonstrates that phenotype diversity is independently associated with HbA1c.

Study context

Population
Participants with T1D or T2D; 5902 days of CGM data5,902 CGM days
Participants

  • Type 2n = 84
Outcome
Association of Phenotype Diversity Score (Shannon entropy of each individual's cluster-label distribution) with HbA1c
Methodological detailstime-resolved CGM clustering, k-means with dynamic time warping, multivariable regression
