Glycemic measureBrief definition Reference

MBGMean of all glucose values5.7 mmol/L [20], 5.8 mmol/L [26] for healthy individuals
SDSD of all glucose values1 mmol/L [20], 0.8 mmol/L [26] for healthy individuals
LAGEBlood glucose (BG)max-BGmin1.4–5.7 mmol/L for healthy individuals [16]
MAGEAverage amplitude of upstrokes or downstrokes with magnitude greater than 1 SD1.2–3.3 mmol/L for healthy individuals [6]
M-valueWeighted average of glucose values, with progressively larger penalties for more extreme values0 for healthy individuals, 0–18 for good control [7]
MODDMean difference between glucose values obtained at the same time of day on two consecutive days0.3–0.5 mmol/L for healthy individuals, 0.6–2.0 mmol/L for stable diabetes [8]
𝐽 -index0.001 × (mean + SD)210 < 𝐽 < 20 as Ideal glucose control [9]
HBGIHigh blood glucose index<4.5 for low risk of hyperglycemia [10]
LBGILow blood glucose index≤1.1 for minimal risk [11]
ADRRRange to predict both hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia<10 for low risk [12]
GRADE scoreWeighted average of glucose values, giving a greater penalties to hypoglycemia than hyperglycemia, and to more severe departures from the target level of 5.8 mmol/L<5 reflects the euglycemic range [13]
 hypoglycaemiaPercentage of GRADE score attributable to glucose values below 3.9 mmol/L[13]
 euglycaemiaPercentage of GRADE score attributable to glucose values within the range 3.9–7.8 mmol/L[13]
 hyperglycaemiaPercentage of GRADE score attributable to glucose values above 7.8 mmol/L[13]
%CV 1 0 0 × S D /Mean14 with range 13–16 for healthy individuals [27]
IGCSum of hyperglycemia index and hypoglycemia index[14]
CONGA24Measure of within-day glucose variability; SD of differences between any glucose value and another one exactly 24 hours latter[14]
24 hrs-AUCAUC attributable to glucose values above 2.2 mmol/L135 mm o l 2 4 h/L for healthy individuals [20]
PT > 7.8 mmol/LAUC attributable to glucose values above 7.8 mmol/L/24 hr-AUC4% for healthy individuals [20, 26]
PT > 8.9 mmol/LAUC attributable to glucose values above 8.9 mmol/L/24 hr-AUC N/A
PT > 10 mmol/LAUC attributable to glucose values above 10 mmol/L/24 hr-AUC 0 . 2 ± 0 . 5 for healthy individuals [20]
PT < 3.3 mmol/LAUC attributable to glucose values within the range 2.2–3.3 mmol/L/24 hr-AUC 1 ± 1 for healthy individuals [20]
