From Stability to Variability: Classification of Healthy Individuals, Prediabetes, and Type 2 Diabetes Using Glycemic Variability Indices from Continuous Glucose Monitoring Data

Diabetes Technol TherPublished Pooled analysis of five studies with machine learning classification model development

Authors' conclusion

Our findings demonstrate a gradual deterioration of glucose homeostasis and increased glycemic variability across the spectrum from normo- to dysglycemia, as evidenced by CGM metrics. The performance of CGM-based indices in classifying healthy individuals and those with prediabetes and diabetes is promising.

Study context
