Abstract

In the original article, “Interpretation of Continuous Glucose Monitoring Data: Glycemic Variability and Quality of Glycemic Control,” by Dr. David Rodbard, Volume 11, Supplement 1, 2009, pp S-55–S-67, the author would like to note the following corrections: 1) Page 58, Table 3. item 9A, MODD, col. 2 should read: Mean of absolute differences between glucose values obtained at exactly the same time of day on two consecutive days under standardized conditions. 2) Page 58, Table 3, item 9B, MODD
Mean of absolute differences in glucose between any value and the value exactly 3) Page S-59, Table 3. Item 12, Hyperglycemia Index Column 1: Hyperglycemia Index, e.g., with parameters ULTR = 140 mg/dL, a = 1.1, c = 30, n = total number of glucose observations Column 2: Weighted average of hyperglycemic values (for all Glucose > ULTR), = Σ [(Glucose
i
– ULTR)

)1.084 – 5.381]2/n}. 6) Page S-59, Table 3. Item 16, High Blood Glucose Index (HBGI) Column 1: High Blood Glucose Index (HBGI) Column 2: For glucose values ≥112.5 mg/dL, HBGI = 22.77 {Σ [(loge(Glucose

Item 17, Glycaemic Risk Assessment Diabetes Equation (GRADE) Column 1: Glycaemic Risk Assessment Diabetes Equation (GRADE) Column 2: Average transformed glucose values GRADE = 8) Page S-60, Figure 2 and legend. We have modified the figure and its legend. 9) Page S-66. Appendix 1. GRADE Col. 2 (Definition) should read: Glycaemic Risk Assessment Diabetes Equation: weighted average of glucose values, giving greater penalties to hypoglycemia than hyperglycemia, and to more severe departures from the target level of 90 mg/dL. 10) Page S-66. Appendix 1. MODD Mean absolute daily differences in glucose values at the same time of day on two consecutive days. 11) Page S-66. Appendix 1. The following line has been added below MODD
n total number of glucose values (including hypo-, eu-, and hyperglycemic).
