- the present disclosure enables a physician to better evaluate the treatment of diabetic patients. This can be accomplished by
- a patient's state of glucose control can be assessed in terms of 2 simple metrics.
- the first relates to the ability to maintain a desirable glucose level on average.
- the second relates to the ability to minimize the glucose excursion in the presence of meals and other factors.
- median glucose is the first metric
- the difference between the median and the 10 th percentile glucose is the second metric.
- FIG. 4 depicts an example of a glucose control chart showing the states of 66 patients with diabetes.
- the first metric is shown on the y-axis, and the second is shown on the x-axis.
- a glucose testing schedule is needed to collect the data, for example from the SMBG system detailed above.
- other clinically relevant information can be provided to enhance one's understanding of the impact on a planned treatment on the patient's various clinical states.
- the present disclosure provides a method whereby the appropriate testing schedule is a function of an a priori (e.g., population-based) uncertainty of various testing schedules and the relevant clinical risk being reviewed for each patient, as a reflection of the patient's state of glucose control.
- a priori e.g., population-based
- a glucose control chart such as the one depicted in FIG. 4, can be used to provide a snapshot of a patient's glucose control.
- the snapshot compresses multitudes of blood glucose (BG) data from self-monitoring BG (SMBG) fmgerstick readings and/or CGM system recordings over the course of days or weeks in between visits to the patient's healthcare provider (HCP), into a single point in the chart.
- BG blood glucose
- HCP patient's healthcare provider
- FIG. 5 illustrates contour plots of a probability distribution function of a patient's state of glucose control. The distribution is obtained by simulating a patient performing a prescribed testing schedule over 14 days, and then using the bootstrap method to obtain more estimates (e.g., 400 additional estimates). This set of 400 glucose control chart data points is then used to create a probability distribution function. The 25%, 50%, and 75% contour heights are displayed in FIG. 5, which illustrates the uncertainty level of the patient's estimated glucose control level.
- FIG. 6 shows the same distribution from the same patient, in the context of two different clinical risks, namely the risk of retinopathy (e.g., horizontal lines) and the risk of severe hypoglycemia (e.g., diagonal lines). If the difference between five hypoglycemic events per month and nine hypoglycemic events per month is clinically relevant, then given the patient's current state of glucose control, the prescribed testing schedule is marginally able to distinguish a clinically meaningful change in severe hypoglycemia risk.
- the risk of retinopathy e.g., horizontal lines
- severe hypoglycemia e.g., diagonal lines
- the testing schedule is sufficient to distinguish a clinically meaningful change in risk of retinopathy. Since the contour line span is significantly smaller than the gap between the nearest two retinopathy risk lines, the testing schedule is adequate to measure the patient's level of retinopathy risk.
- the testing schedule used for the illustration in FIG. 6 may or may not be adequate in assessing different clinical risks for the same patient. This was already shown by the width of the contour lines along the different clinical risk gradient lines. The risk of hypoglycemia and the risk of retinopathy are not the same.
- the testing schedule used for the illustration of FIG. 6 may or may not be adequate in assessing a different set of clinical risks such as risk of nepropathy, risk of diabetic ketoacidosis, or risk of microvascular complications, the same patient with a significantly altered level of glucose control or the same clinical risks for a different patient.
- the latter is illustrated in FIG. 7, where contour lines from 6 additional patients are plotted on the same chart. Note that as the patient's glucose variability increases, which is represented by a larger x-axis value, and as the patient's propensity for high BG value increases, which is represented by a larger y-axis value, the same testing schedule generates different uncertainty levels as indicated by the different contour size and shapes.
- FIG. 8 illustrates the contour lines generated from a relatively stringent testing schedule on 7 patients. As compared with FIG. 7, the uncertainty levels are markedly decreased, particularly in areas of poor glucose control.
- the more stringent testing schedule does not offer any better insight with respect to the two clinical risks discussed as examples.
- patient F who achieves low glucose variability while
- the more stringent testing schedule might help differentiate the patient's risk of retinopathy when compared to the next or previous visit (not shown in the figures).
- the more stringent testing schedule clarifies patient D's risk of hypoglycemia.
- the present disclosure contemplates a means to generate uncertainty levels of a patient's state of glucose control estimate as a function of specific SMBG testing schedules, a given clinical risk, and the two axes of the analyte control chart, such as the one illustrated in FIG. 9. Further, when different SMBG schedules are collected, for each schedule, uncertainty levels are computed a priori from the population data.
- the population data can include CGM values, or SMBG values taken at a relatively frequent interval that approaches that of the CGM. For example, the SMBG values are taken once every 15 minutes or more frequently.
- the population data can be obtained from human studies, wherein the participants wear a CGM system, or the data is collected from virtual participants in an "in-silico" manner, where the participants represent a wide range of demographics, state of diabetes, and various other physiological parameters.
- the uncertainly levels from the population data can be projected along the gradient of a particular risk, which can result in a map of uncertainty levels for a given SMBG testing schedule and clinical risk as a function of the two axes of the glucose control chart, e.g., seen in FIG. 9.
- FIG. 9 illustrates adequate and inadequate areas in the glucose control chart that can be identified for each combination of SMBG testing schedule and clinical risk being considered. An area is considered adequate if it has a sufficiently small uncertainty level relative to a clinically relevant gradient change. Otherwise, it would be considered inadequate. This is also illustrated in FIG. 8 for a given testing schedule and risk of retinopathy. Examples of testing schedules are seen now follow:
- Schedule 1 4 times a day (i.e., 7am, 1 lam, 5pm, 10pm);
- Schedule 3 7 times a day (i.e., Schedule 1 and tests at 9am, 1pm, and 7pm);
- the shaded area seen in FIG. 9 corresponds to areas where the particular testing schedule is not adequate in detecting a clinically meaningful change in the risk of retinopathy, because the spread of the estimates along the direction of clinical change is much larger than the distance between local clinical risk lines.
- a patient whose current state of glucose control puts their estimates in the inadequate space relative to the clinical risks being considered will need to follow a different testing schedule.
- a patient whose glucose state is far from the boundary between inadequate and adequate region can use a potentially less demanding testing schedule.
- Different clinical risks e.g., severe hypoglycemia, diabetic ketoacidosis, kidney failure, etc.
- These testing schedules can be determined and suggested by the system described in FIGS. 1-3.
- FIG. 10 is a flow diagram illustrating steps in a method for determining an analyte testing schedule based on a user's analyte control level and clinical risk. Execution of the method begins at process block 1002 wherein blood glucose data related to individuals in a population study is received by a system, such as the one described above.
- the blood glucose data can be obtained, e.g., by a continuous glucose monitoring system or by self- monitoring blood glucose sampling by the individuals in the population study.
- a bootstrap statistical method is applied to the information from each individual in the population study to determine a probability distribution (e.g., distribution function) of a glucose control chart value for each individual in the study.
- the spread of the distribution function across the glucose control chart space can be quantified, as seen in process block 1006. More specifically, the spread can be a function of median and glucose variability.
- process block 1008 one or more clinical risks are considered, such that for each combination of clinical risks being considered, areas in the glucose control chart are identified as adequate or inadequate for each blood glucose testing schedule.
- the steps performed in process blocks 1002, 1004, 1006, and 1008 gather a priori population data 1000 and can be used to assess the blood glucose test schedule of an individual who was not part of the population study.
- process block 1010 blood glucose data is collected from a patient not involved in the population data.
- a single valued location of the patient's state of glucose control in the glucose control chart is determined in process block 1012.
- the a priori population data gathered and processed in block 1000 is used to determine whether the patient's location in the glucose control chart, given the clinical risks considered and the patient's blood glucose testing schedule, identifies the patient's single valued state of glucose control as adequate or inadequate in process block 1014.
- the determination performed in process block 1016 suggest an alternate blood glucose testing schedule that is most likely to be adequate around the patient's current state of glucose control and wait for new test data before making clinical decision. Otherwise, at process block 1016, proceed with a clinical decision and/or treatment, and provide a suggested blood glucose testing schedule for the next visit that is adequate for the expected change in the state of glucose control.
- the present disclosure contemplates a means to utilize the mapped uncertainty levels in context of a specific set of clinical risks to provide a recommended SMBG testing schedule specific to each patient's latest state of glucose control. For example, the patient's initial data collected under a particular SMBG testing schedule is referenced against the map to see if the patient's glucose control estimate falls within the adequate or inadequate area. Then with the clinical risks being considered, a
- SMBG testing schedule can be offered that will not render the patient's testing efforts meaningless for the clinical aspect being focused on.
- an SMBG testing schedule that puts the next predicted state of glucose control into an adequate range can be considered, and one that is the least demanding can be offered to the patient.
- the idea is to offer the least demanding schedule to the patient that will still allow a useful determination of changes in clinical risk while keeping in mind that while a more demanding schedule may be ideal, it can practically be the exact opposite when the patient does not appropriately follow the more demanding schedule.
- a computer-implemented method for determining an analyte testing schedule based on a user's analyte control level and clinical risk may comprise receiving, at a data processing component, population data related to a population's analyte concentration, creating an analyte control chart based upon the received population data, determining one or more analyte testing schedules, determining a probability distribution function based upon the received population data, as a function of each analyte testing schedule and the location of each datapoint in the analyte control chart, determining for a plurality of clinical risks, areas where each analyte testing schedule is adequate or inadequate to distinguish each of the plurality of clinical risks, receiving data related to a user's analyte concentration, wherein the data related to the user's analyte concentration is acquired based on a particular analyte testing schedule, by at least one of self-monitoring analyte level sampling or utilizing
