Predicting Blood Glucose Levels in Type II Diabetes: A Pilot Study Using Continuous Monitoring and Long Short-Term Memory Models
摘要
Continuous blood glucose monitoring offers a wealth of data for type 2 diabetes management. In this pilot study, we explored the potential of Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) models to predict blood sugar levels. We monitored 10 diabetic and 10 non-diabetic individuals for 14 days, using their high-frequency glucose data to train the model. The model successfully tracked real glycemic fluctuations in diabetic individuals, anticipating trends 5 h ahead with 12-h data. Predicted values aligned with carbohydrate intake, physical assessments, observed peaks, lifestyles, and daily carbohydrate consumption. The model faced challenges with non-diabetic data due to its inherently lower variability compared to diabetic data with its characteristic spikes. While the model captured the overall peak trend (1:15–1:30 pm) for the entire group, a larger study population is needed to refine and generalize the model for broader application.
