Type 2 & other diabetes

Multimodal AI correlates of glucose spikes in people with normal glucose regulation, pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes

Nat MedPublished Prospective cohort study

Study context

Population
Prospective cohort of 1,137 participants in the United States; multimodal data analysed from deeply phenotyped individualsdeeply phenotyped
Participants
347 participants
Exposure
Normoglycemic vs prediabetic vs T2D
  • Normoglycemicn = 174reference
  • Prediabeticn = 79
  • T2Dn = 94
Outcome
Glucose spike metrics by diabetes state
Methodological detailsmultimodal data, deeply phenotyped, independent validation cohort
  • Multimodal data
  • Deeply phenotyped
  • Independent validation cohort

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

  • Significant differences in distribution of glucose spike metrics among diabetes states
  • Longer expected time for spike resolution and higher nocturnal hypoglycemia values in T2D

Observational data: associations, not effects.

Further findings

Correlations of glycemic metrics with other modalities

Significant correlation between mean glucose level and gut microbiome diversity
Significant correlation between expected time for spike resolution and resting heart rate

Multimodal glycemic risk profiles, external validation

Improved risk stratification, showing substantial variability among individuals with the same HbA1c
  • Validated in 1,955 normoglycemic and 114 prediabetic individuals from an independent cohort
