The Continuous Glucose Monitoring System (CGMS) is an effective tool which enables the users to monitor their blood glucose (BG) levels. Based on the CGM data, we aim at predicting future BG levels so that appropriate actions can be taken in advance to prevent hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia. Due to the time-varying non-stationarity of CGM data, verified by Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) test and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), an Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) model with an adaptive identification algorithm of model orders is proposed in the prediction framework. Such identification algorithm adaptively determines the model orders and simultaneously estimates the corresponding parameters using Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) and least square estimation (LSE). A case study is conducted with the CGM data of diabetics under daily living conditions to analyze the prediction performance of the proposed model together with the early hypoglycemic alarms. Results show that the proposed model outperforms the adaptive univariate model and ARIMA model.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
