Type 2 Diabetes Glucose Biomarker Study With a Continuous Glucose Monitoring System

A Triple Cohort, Prospective Observational Study to Analyze Type 2 Diabetes Glucose Biomarkers With a Continuous Glucose Monitoring System

Current gold standard methodologies for diagnosing type 2 diabetes (T2D) or prediabetes can be unreliable and inaccurate, and require the need for multiple different tests for comparison. It is possible that a simpler and more refined method of diagnosing T2D or prediabetes involves examining the proportional-integral (PI) control system of the body's glycemic function (i.e., a model of the glucose curve). The purpose of this research is to examine how well a PI model can diagnose nondiabetic, prediabetic, or diabetic patients based on glucose data gathered from a wearable glucose monitoring device.
