Excerpt

Blood glucose variability (BGV) has been associated with outcome of critically ill patients [1‐3]. Different BGV metrics exist, including mean absolute glucose (MAG) [4], which is the mean of absolute change per hour in glucose level. We hypothesized MAG to depend on the blood glucose level (BGL) measurement frequency, as doing more measurements could lead to more changes in the insulin infusion rate and hence in changes in the follow-up BGL. …
