Definition of the calculated parameters of the GVAP

Name Formula Symbols
Avg. AUC-H 1T0TGtTRHdt,IFGt>TRH G (t) - Glucose–time function
Target Range-High - TRH
Avg. AUC-H - Average exposure to hyperglycemia.
Avg. AUC-H = 10 mg/dL means that during the observation, on average the CGM glucose exceeded TRH limit by 10 mg/dL [23].
Avg. AUC-L 1T0TTRLGtdt,IFGt<TRL G (t) Glucose - time function
Target Range-Low - TRL
MAGE +/− λnIFλ>v λ = amplitude of each glucose increase or decrease (nadir to peak / peak to nadir)
n = number of observations
ν = meaningful excursion (ME)
MAGE avg.
EF MAGE+/−: mean of the upward/downward excursions
MAGE avg.: average of MAGEs
EF sum of all excursions [15,24,16]

k = number of observations where there is an observation at the same time 24 h (1,440 min) ago [25,26]
CONGA (n) tkt=t1DtD¯2k1 k = number of observations where there is an observation n × 60 min ago
where Dt = BGt-BGt-m and m = n × 60, in our program n = 1 [27,26]
