Capillary Blood Glucose
A person with T2DM taking once daily insulin and other non-insulin antihyperglycemic agents should check their blood glucose level at least this many times per day
What is 1?
CGM should be offered to any person using this type of antihyperglycemic
What is insulin?
This type of report is composed of the following: Glucose statistics and targets, AGP graph and Daily Glucose Profiles
What is the Ambulatory Glucose Profile Report?
Outcomes are improved when glucose levels are within target levels at least this percentage of the time
What is 70%?
This area of the graph represents to glucose values which are between the 10th and 90th percentiles
What is the interdecile range?
Person taking insulin more than once per day and NOT using CGM should check their blood glucose levels at least this many times per day
What is 3?
CGM use may be particularly beneficial for patients with diabetes who experience this concern
What is hypoglycemia unawareness?
When reviewing a CGM report, validity is improved when there are at least this many days worth of data
What is 14 days?
Outcomes are improved when glucose levels are below target levels no more than this percentage of the time?
What is 5%?
This area of the AGP indicates the average glucose at any point during the day
What is the median line?
Insulin adjustments are initially made based on glucose values for this time period
What is preprandial?
Some medications affect the accuracy of CGM results. Acetaminophen use over this amount is an example
What is 4000mg daily?
When reviewing CGM reports, validity is improved when CGM has been worn at least this percentage of the time
What is 70 percent?
In older adults or "high risk" individuals with type I or II diabetes, outcomes are improved when glucose levels are within target levels at least this percentage of the time
What is 50%?
Area of the AGP graph between the 25th and 75th percentile which shows the most consistent daily trends, which are generally the result of treatment related causes
What is the interquartile range?
In general, glucose trends should be noted over this amount of days prior to making an insulin dose adjustment
What is 2 or 3?
Some medications affect the accuracy of CGM results. Vitamin C use over this amount is an example
What is 500mg daily?
This term was formerly known as the "estimated A1C"
What is Glucose Management Indicator [GMI]?
In older adults, it is particularly important to avoid this glycemic concern
What is hypoglycemia?
Glucose trends which are more closely related to lifestyle or behavioral causes can be found in this area of the AGP graph
What is the interdecile range?
In pregnancy, the incidence of a fetus becoming large for gestational age [LGA] is most closely linked to glucose values of this timing
What is 1 hour postprandial?
Included as part of a CBC - when this value is either high or low, CGM results may be affected
What is hematocrit?
This term is also known as the "coefficient of variation"
What is glycemic variability?
With the exception of older adults, pregnant individuals and "high risk" patients with diabetes, target levels are generally between these values
What is 3.9 and 10 mmol/L?
When assessing either the interquartile range or the interdecile range, the goal is to have a (narrow or wide) band as close to the target glucose level as possible
What is narrow?
