Abstract
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disorder that leads to the destruction of insulin-producing cells, as to why affected individuals depend on external insulin injections. However, insulin can cause low blood glucose levels of hypoglycemia (≤70 mg/dL), which is a severe event with dangerous side effects. Data analysis can significantly enhance diabetes care by identifying personal patterns and trends leading to adverse events. However, diabetes and hypoglycemia research is limited by the unavailability of large datasets. Thus, we pesent DiaData. DiaData integrates 13 different datasets and presents a large continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) dataset comprising data from individuals with T1D across various age groups. CGM data is reported every 5 minutes. The Maindatabase contains CGM measurements of all 1720 subjects. From this, two subsets are extracted: Subdatabase I includes CGM data and demographics of age and sex for 1306 subjects, while Subdatabase II includes CGM and heart rate data for a subset of 51 subjects.
Description
DiaData is provided in .csv format, where each row represents a single CGM measurement. The Maindatabase includes CGM data for all subjects, with the following columns: timestamp (ts), patient identifier (PtID), glucose value (GlucoseCGM), and the source database name (Database). Subdatabase I adds demographic information, including Age, AgeGroup, and Sex. Subdatabase II contains CGM data combined with heart rate measurements (HR). For subjects using a CGM device with a sampling frequency of 10 or 15 minutes, the data were sampled to 5-minute intervals, and missing values introduced by this oversampling were filled with forward filling using the last available value.
