<b>Objective:</b> In recent years, a growing number of people with type 1 diabetes have access to real-time continuous glucose monitoring (rtCGM). Long-term benefits of rtCGM are unclear due to lack of large studies of long duration.

Forty-two percent had IAH. Primary endpoint was evolution of HbA<sub>1c</sub>, with secondary endpoints change in acute hypoglycemia complications, diabetes-related work absenteeism, and quality of life (QOL) scores. Additionally, we evaluated if people could achieve glycemic consensus targets during follow-up.</p> <p><b>Results:</b> After 24 months, HbA<sub>1c</sub> remained significantly lower compared to baseline (7.64% [60 mmol/mol] vs 7.37% [57 mmol/mol], p<0.0001). Sustained benefits were also observed for the score on the hypoglycemia fear survey and hypoglycemia-related acute complications irrespective of hypoglycemia awareness level. People with IAH had the strongest improvement, especially for severe hypoglycemia (862 events year before vs 119 events per 100 patient-years in second year, p<0.0001). Over 24 months, more people were able to meet hypoglycemia consensus targets at the expense of slightly less people achieving hyperglycemia consensus targets.

Lower fear of hypoglycemia, less acute hypoglycemia-related events and diabetes-related days off work were observed, particularly in those with IAH.</p>

Abstract Introduction: To identify phenotypes of type 1 diabetes based on glucose curves from continuous glucose-monitoring (CGM) using functional data (FD) analysis to account for longitudinal glucose patterns. We present a reliable prediction model that can accurately predict glycemic levels based on past data collected from the CGM sensor and real-time risk of hypo-/hyperglycemic for individuals with type 1 diabetes. Methods: A longitudinal cohort study of 443 type 1 diabetes patients with CGM data from a completed trial. The FD analysis approach, sparse functional principal components (FPCs) analysis was used to identify phenotypes of type 1 diabetes glycemic variation. We employed a nonstationary stochastic linear mixed-effects model (LME) that accommodates between-patient and within-patient heterogeneity to predict glycemic levels and real-time risk of hypo-/hyperglycemic by creating specific target functions for these excursions. Results: The majority of the variation (73%) in glucose trajectories was explained by the first two FPCs. Higher order variation in the CGM profiles occurred during weeknights, although variation was higher on weekends. The model has low prediction errors and yields accurate predictions for both glucose levels and real-time risk of glycemic excursions. Conclusions: By identifying these distinct longitudinal patterns as phenotypes, interventions can be targeted to optimize type 1 diabetes management for subgroups at the highest risk for compromised long-term outcomes such as cardiac disease or stroke. Further, the estimated change/variability in an individual’s glucose trajectory can be used to establish clinically meaningful and patient-specific thresholds that, when coupled with probabilistic predictive inference, provide a useful medical-monitoring tool.
