cardiovascular risk calculator) or to make therapeutic decisions (e.g. Clinicians are used to composite scores to predict the risk for certain diseases (e.g. “Glycemic Risk Index, is a single score composed of various CGM metrics that clinicians take into account to assess the quality of glycemic control for patients with diabetes. The Glycemic Risk Indicator fulfills that need and is a major step-forward in the use of CGM to support individuals and their families living with diabetes in all of its forms,” said David Kerr, MD, Director of Research and Innovation at the Sansum Diabetes Research Institute in Santa Barbara, California. Increasingly, non-specialists will have access to CGM data and therefore there is a need for novel approaches to understanding CGM data that can be used by the non-specialist.
“We are starting to see a dramatic expansion in the use of continuous glucose monitoring outside of the traditional indication as a technology for adults and children with type 1 diabetes and intensively treated type 2 diabetes. The GRI can be used to 1) assess how well a patient is doing over time, 2) manage a population, and 3) predict outcomes in intervention studies. The GRI score correlates more closely with the expert opinions than other CGM metrics, such as Time in Range. The GRI is based on the opinions of the quality of glycemia of 330 experienced international clinicians who reviewed 225 CGM tracings. The authors include 92 of the world’s leading diabetes and statistics experts from all six continents. The article is entitled A Glycemia Risk Index (GRI) of Hypoglycemia and Hyperglycemia for Continuous Glucose Monitoring Validated by Clinician Ratings. Ma– Burlingame, CA – Diabetes Technology Society today announced the publication of an article presenting a new actionable metric for describing the quality of glycemia in a continuous glucose monitor tracing in Journal of Diabetes Science and Technology.
