Explainable Machine-Learning Models to Predict Weekly Risk of Hyperglycemia, Hypoglycemia, and Glycemic Variability in Patients With Type 1 Diabetes Based on Continuous Glucose Monitoring

J Diabetes Sci TechnolPublished Prediction model development and validation study

Authors' conclusion

Prediction models based on real-world CGM data can be used to predict the risk of unstable glycemic control in the forthcoming week. The models showed good performance in both internal and external validation cohorts.

Study context
