Abstract
Continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) have become important tools for providing estimates of glucose to patients with diabetes. Recently, neural networks (NNs) have become a common method for forecasting glucose values using data from CGMs. One method of forecasting glucose values is a time-delay feedforward (FF) NN, but a change in the CGM location on a participant can increase forecast error in a FF NN. In response, we examined a NN with gated recurrent units (GRUs) as a method of reducing forecast error due to changes in sensor location. We observed that for 13 participants with type 2 diabetes wearing blinded CGMs on both arms for 12 weeks (FreeStyle Libre Pro-Abbott), GRU NNs did not produce significantly different errors in glucose prediction due to sensor location changes (P < .05). We observe that GRU NNs can mitigate error in glucose prediction due to differences in CGM location.
