Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) measures could be a surrogate for stimulated C-peptide outcomes in type 1 diabetes trials.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: CGM and mixed-meal tolerance test-derived C-peptide measures at time points out to 52 weeks after diagnosis were compared in 103 children.

RESULTS: At 52 weeks, CGM metrics moderately correlated with C-peptide area under the curve. The highest Spearman correlations were for time-in-range 70-180 mg/dL, time < 70 mg/dL, and glucose coefficient of variation (0.45, -0.33, and -0.58, respectively; the multivariate model using these three metrics had a slightly higher correlation of 0.63). For predicting peak C-peptide concentrations ≥0.2 pmol/mL, this combination had a sensitivity of 68.4% and specificity of 75%.

CONCLUSIONS: CGM measures correlated with stimulated C-peptide measures; however, the strength of the correlations and sensitivity and specificity of CGM-derived measures were not great enough to replace C-peptide measures in clinical trials.
