“…However, many of such studies are conducted with data from a healthy population (i.e., people without a diagnosed condition). Unlike prior work, routine use of clinical-grade wearable devices in the diabetes domain creates unmatched opportunities for understanding the dynamics of disease management in everyday settings (16,17,30,44,45). Retrospective analysis of routinely collected data can also reveal behaviors in the natural environment that are not altered by enrolling participants in a research study (46).…”

“…Several studies in literature have observed changes in lifestyle and eating behaviors that contribute to weight gain during the holidays (19)(20)(21)(22)(23). However, the effect of holidays on glycemic trends and diabetes management outcomes is yet to be studied at scale (30). Building on the availability of objective data from clinically validated CGMs used for daily management of diabetes, we set out to assess changes in glycemic trends across the year.…”

Seasonal variations in glycemic trends remain largely unstudied despite the growing prevalence of diabetes. To address this gap, our objective is to investigate temporal changes in glycemic trends by analyzing intensively sampled blood glucose data from 137 patients (ages 2 to 76, primarily type 1 diabetes) over the course of 9 months to 4.5 years. From over 91,000 days of continuous glucose monitor data, we found that glycemic control decreases significantly around the holidays, with the largest decline observed on New Year’s Day among the patients with already poor glycemic control (i.e., <55% time in the target range). We also observed seasonal variations in glycemic trends, with patients having worse glycemic control in the months of November to February (i.e., mid-fall and winter, in the United States), and better control in the months of April to August (i.e., mid-spring and summer). These insights are critical to inform targeted interventions that can improve diabetes outcomes.

“…Not only is there an association between indulgence and overeating during the holidays -people eat significantly more during the holiday times [1][2][3]. Many holidays are consumerbased and deal with being able to provide for oneself and family [4,5].…”

People overeat during the holidays and gain on average 1.1 pounds from Thanksgiving to New Year’s Eve. Participant observers compiled over 100 different insights on factors cause people to overeat during the holiday season. Each trap that was identified was paired with some advice from that insider on how to prevent the overeating. Insights were categorized based the social aspects of the meal, the influence of proximate others, and the layout of the food. These indulgent insights will be useful to help prevent people from overeating during the holiday season and has the potential to prevent weight gain and health decreases that are paired with the winter months.
