Early identification of individuals at high risk for type 1 diabetes (T1D) is essential for timely intervention. Islet autoantibodies (AB) and continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) reveal early signs of glycemic dysregulation, while T1D genetic risk scores (GRS) further improve disease prediction. We use CGM data and T1D GRS to develop an AB classifier (1 AB vs.

Background: Early detection and intervention are crucial for preventing vision-threatening diabetic retinopathy (DR) in adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D). This exploratory study uses machine learning on continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) data to identify factors influencing DR and predict high-risk individuals for timely intervention.

Methods: Between June 2018 and March 2022, adults with T1D with incident DR or no retinopathy (control) were identified.

Context: Static measures of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) data, such as time spent in specific glucose ranges (70-180 mg/dL or 70-140 mg/dL), do not fully capture the dynamic nature of blood glucose, particularly the subtle gradual deterioration of glycemic control over time in individuals with early-stage type 1 diabetes.

Objective: Develop a diabetes diagnostic tool based on 2 markers of CGM dynamics: CGM entropy rate (ER) and Poincaré plot (PP) ellipse area (S).

Methods: A total of 5754 daily CGM profiles from 843 individuals with type 1, type 2 diabetes, or healthy individuals with or without islet autoantibody status were used to compute 2 individual dynamic markers: ER (in bits per transition; BPT) of daily probability matrices describing CGM transitions between 8 glycemic states, and the area S (mg2/dL2) of individual CGM PP ellipses using standard PP descriptors.

Background: Detection of two or more autoantibodies (Ab) in the blood might describe those individuals at increased risk of developing type 1 diabetes (T1D) during the following years. The aim of this exploratory study is to propose a high versus low T1D risk classifier using machine learning technology based on continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) home data.

Methods: Forty-two healthy relatives of people with T1D with mean ± SD age of 23.

Predicting the risk for type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a significant challenge. We use a 1-week continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) home test to characterize differences in glycemia in at-risk healthy individuals based on autoantibody presence and develop a machine-learning technology for CGM-based islet autoantibody classification. Sixty healthy relatives of people with T1D with mean ± standard deviation age of 23.

With the proliferation of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), a number of metrics were developed to assess quality of glycemic control. Many of them are highly correlated. Thus, we aim to identify the principal dimensions of glycemic control-a minimal set of metrics, necessary and sufficient for comprehensive assessment of diabetes management.

Accurate glucose prediction along a long-enough time horizon is a key component for technology to improve type 1 diabetes treatment. Subjects with diabetes might benefit from supervision and control systems that accurately predict risks and trigger corrective actions early enough with improved mitigation. However, large intra-patient variability poses big challenges to glucose prediction.

Linear empirical dynamic models have been widely used for blood glucose prediction and risks prevention in people with type 1 diabetes. More accurate blood glucose prediction models with longer prediction horizon (PH) are desirable to enable warnings to patients about imminent blood glucose changes with enough time to take corrective actions. In this study, a blood glucose prediction method is developed by integrating the predictions of a set of seasonal local models (each of them corresponding to different glucose profiles observed along historical data).

Background: Linear empirical dynamic models have been widely used for glucose prediction. The extension of the concept of seasonality, characteristic of other domains, is explored here for the improvement of prediction accuracy.

Methods: Twenty time series of 8-hour postprandial periods (PP) for a same 60g-carbohydrate meal were collected from a closed-loop controller validation study.

Background: Postprandial (PP) control remains a challenge for closed-loop (CL) systems. Few studies with inconsistent results have systematically investigated the PP period.

Objective: To compare a new CL algorithm with current pump therapy (open loop [OL]) in the PP glucose control in type 1 diabetes (T1D) subjects.
