Predicting Immunological Risk for Stage 1 and Stage 2 Diabetes Using a 1-Week Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) Home Test, Nocturnal Glucose Increments, and Standardized Liquid Mixed Meal Breakfasts, with Classification Enhanced by Machine Learning

Diabetes Technol TherPublished Ancillary study of the TrialNet cohort with machine-learning classification

Authors' conclusion

A new technology combining machine learning with a potentially self-administered 1-week CGM home test can help improve T1D risk detection without the need to visit a hospital or use a medical laboratory.

Study context

Population
Healthy relatives of people with T1D; mean age 23.7 ± 10.7 years, HbA1c 5.3% ± 0.3%, BMI 23.8 ± 5.6 kg/m²
Participants
60 relatives
Exposure
Glycemia across autoantibody groups (0, 1, ≥2 autoantibodies); autoantibody positive vs negative classification
  • Zero autoantibodiesn = 21reference
  • One autoantibodyn = 18
  • ≥2 autoantibodiesn = 21
Outcome
