Metrics of the timing of GV

Metric Formula Meaning
SD of the BG rate of change
Inline graphic, whereInline graphic is the BG rate of change at time (i) and Inline graphic is the average BG rate of change
Variation of the speed of BG fluctuation; particularly applicable to BG readings that are equally spaced in time, such as CGM data
MODD
Inline graphic, where k is the number of available data pairs 24-h apart
Intraday GV computed from all 24-h time intervals where paired readings are available at the beginning and at the end of 24 h
CONGA Inline graphic, where D(t) is the difference between BG at time t and BG taken n hours earlier, and Inline graphic is the average of these differences MAGE exceeding the SD of GV

In all formulas, x = BG level.
