Our latest paper titled: “The northeast glucose drift: Stratification of post-breakfast dysglycemia among predominantly Hispanic/Latino adults at-risk or with type 2 diabetes” is now published in the Lancet Eclinicalmedicine journal. In this work, we built a computational framework to analyzed the glucose response to breakfast in Hispanic/Latino adults with or at-risk for type 2 diabetes. Our results show that the breakfast glucose response has distinct patterns related to diabetes severity. This finding, once validated in larger cohorts, may potentially enable a new at-home test for diabetes progression using continuous glucose monitors (CGM).
