Reference Values for Continuous Glucose Monitoring Parameters

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) parameters mainly include those reflecting mean blood glucose (MBG) and glycemic variability. An in-depth understanding of the characteristics of glucose fluctuations in normal glucose regulation population and the establishment of normal reference values are essential for clinical application and research of CGM. In this chapter, we will first introduce the method for establishing normal reference values for physiological parameters, and then we will present the normal reference values of CGM parameters for the Chinese population. Also, relevant studies conducted internationally will be reviewed in this chapter.
