Prediction of Hypoglycemia From Continuous Glucose Monitoring in Insulin-Treated Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Using Transfer Learning on Type 1 Diabetes Data: A Deep Transfer Learning Approach

J Diabetes Sci TechnolPublished Prediction model development and external validation study

Authors' conclusion

The transfer learned CNN model showed promising performance in predicting hypoglycemic episodes and with slightly better results than a non-transfer learned CNN model.

Study context

Population
Insulin-treated patients with T2D; Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) data from 226 patients with T1D and 180 patients with T2D334,711 CGM samples validated
Outcome
Prediction of hypoglycemia (three consecutive CGM values below 3.9 mmol/L (70 mg/dL)) one hour after a one-hour CGM sample, AUC
Follow-up
One hour after the sample
Methodological detailsdeep transfer learning, convolutional neural network pre-trained on T1D data
