Glycemic variability is complex - is glucose complexity variable?

Glycemic variability is complex - is glucose complexity variable?

Observational studies show an independent association between increased glycemic variability and higher mortality in critically ill patients. Minimization of glycemic variability is therefore suggested as a new target of glycemic control, which may require very frequent or almost continuous monitoring of glucose levels. Brunner and colleagues show the use of real-time subcutaneous continuous gl...

Glycemic Variability Percentage: A Novel Method for Assessing Glycemic Variability from Continuous Glucose Monitor Data

BACKGROUND High levels of glycemic variability are still observed in most patients with diabetes with severe insulin deficiency. Glycemic variability may be an important risk factor for acute and chronic complications. Despite its clinical importance, there is no consensus on the optimum method for characterizing glycemic variability. METHOD We developed a simple new metric, the glycemic vari...

Glycemic variability and glucose complexity in critically ill patients: a retrospective analysis of continuous glucose monitoring data

INTRODUCTION Glycemic variability as a marker of endogenous and exogenous factors, and glucose complexity as a marker of endogenous glucose regulation are independent predictors of mortality in critically ill patients. We evaluated the impact of real time continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) on glycemic variability in critically ill patients on intensive insulin therapy (IIT), and investigated g...

Variable Classifications of Glycemic Index Determined by Glucose Meters

THE STUDY EVALUATED AND COMPARED THE DIFFERENCES OF GLUCOSE RESPONSES, INCREMENTAL AREA UNDER CURVE (IAUC), GLYCEMIC INDEX (GI) AND THE CLASSIFICATION OF GI VALUES BETWEEN MEASURED BY BIOCHEMICAL ANALYZER (FUJI AUTOMATIC BIOCHEMISTRY ANALYZER (FAA)) AND THREE GLUCOSE METERS: Accue Chek Advantage (AGM), BREEZE 2 (BGM), and Optimum Xceed (OGM). Ten healthy subjects were recruited for the study. T...
