(1) Background: nocturnal hypoglycemia (NH) is one of the most challenging side effects of multiple doses of insulin (MDI) therapy in type 1 diabetes (T1D). This work aimed to investigate the feasibility of a machine-learning-based prediction model to anticipate NH in T1D patients on MDI. (2) Methods: ten T1D adults were studied during 12 weeks. Information regarding T1D management, continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), and from a physical activity tracker were obtained under free-living conditions at home. Supervised machine-learning algorithms were applied to the data, and prediction models were created to forecast the occurrence of NH. Individualized prediction models were generated using multilayer perceptron (MLP) and a support vector machine (SVM). (3) Results: population outcomes indicated that more than 70% of the NH may be avoided with the proposed methodology. The predictions performed by the SVM achieved the best population outcomes, with a sensitivity and specificity of 78.75% and 82.15%, respectively. (4) Conclusions: our study supports the feasibility of using ML techniques to address the prediction of nocturnal hypoglycemia in the daily life of patients with T1D on MDI, using CGM and a physical activity tracker.

Background: Intensive insulin therapy has documented benefits but may also come at the expense of a higher risk of hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemia is associated with higher all-cause mortality and nocturnal hypoglycemia has been associated with the sudden dead-in-bed syndrome. This proof-of-concept study sought to investigate if nocturnal hypoglycemia can be predicted. Method: Continuous glucose monitoring, meal, insulin, and demographics data from 463 people with type 1 diabetes were obtained from a clinical trial. A total of 4721 nights without or with hypoglycemia (429) were available including data from three consecutive days before the night. Thirty-two features were calculated based on these data. Data were split into 20% participants for evaluation and 80% for training. The optimal feature subset was found from forward selection of the 80% participants with linear discriminant analysis as basis for the classifier. Results: The forward selection resulted in a feature subset of four features. The evaluation resulted in an area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (ROC-AUC) of 0.79 leading to a sensitivity and a specificity of, e.g., 75% and 70%. Conclusions: It was possible to predict nocturnal hypoglycemic episodes with a ROC-AUC of 0.79. A warning at bedtime about nocturnal hypoglycemia could be of great help for people with diabetes to enable preventive actions. Further development of the proposed algorithm is needed for implementation in everyday practice.

Prior to the widespread use of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), knowledge of the effects of exercise in type 1 diabetes (T1D) was limited to the exercise period, with few studies having the budget or capacity to monitor participants overnight. Recently, CGM has become a staple of many exercise studies, allowing researchers to observe the otherwise elusive late post-exercise period. We performed a strategic search using PubMed and Academic Search Complete. Studies were included if they involved adults with T1D performing exercise or physical activity, had a sample size greater than 5, and involved the use of CGM. Upon completion of the search protocol, 26 articles were reviewed for inclusion. While outcomes have been variable, CGM use in exercise studies has allowed the assessment of post-exercise (especially nocturnal) trends for different exercise modalities in individuals with T1D. Sensor accuracy is currently considered adequate for exercise, which has been crucial to developing closed-loop and artificial pancreas systems. Until these systems are perfected, CGM continues to provide information about late post-exercise responses, to assist T1D patients in managing their glucose, and to be useful as a tool for teaching individuals with T1D about exercise.
