The Prediction of A1c Based on CGM Data Through Applying Machine Learning Approaches

Detailed Summary

Introduction. The hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c) reflects the average blood glucose level for last two to three months. Recent advancements in the sensor technology facilitate the daily monitoring of the blood glucose using CGM devices. The future prediction of the HbA1C based on the CGM data holds a critical significance in maintaining long term health of diabetes patients. A higher than normal value of the HbA1c greatly increases the likelihood of diabetes related cardiovascular disease. Goal. The aim this study is to predict the HbA1c in advance by utilizing the CGM data through applying machine learning techniques. The outcomes of this research will assist in improving the health of diabetic patients. Methods. This is a retrospective analysis. The investigators will de-identify and analyze 120 patients with T1D who using CGM sensor for last three months. Past 15 days of CGM data will be analyzed and different glucose variability features such as time in range (TIR), coefficient of variation (CV), mean amplitude of glycemic excursion (MAGE), mean of daily differences (MODD), continuous overall net glycemic action (CONGA) will be extracted. A machine learning model will calculate (predict) HbA1c in 2-3 months advance based on these 15 days of CGM data. To evaluate the performance of the proposed prediction model, predicted HbA1c will be compared with the real HbA1c.
