Chapter 33 – Basal-IQ Technology Clinical Study Overview 33.5 Primary Analysis The primary analysis of this study was to compare the CGM sensor values less than 70 md/dL between the Study Arm (Basal-IQ Enabled) and the Control Arm (SAP). The following data in Table 4 provides a breakdown of the CGM sensor values across both study arms and the number of participants whose sensor values were below 70 mg/dL for the given time period.

Chapter 33 – Basal-IQ Technology Clinical Study Overview Table 5. Percent of Average CGM Sensor Values < 70 mg/dL (N=102) The average percent of CGM sensor values less than 70 mg/dL showed a relative reduction of 31% in the Study Arm (Basal-IQ Enabled) compared to the Control Arm (SAP).
Chapter 33 – Basal-IQ Technology Clinical Study Overview 33.6 Secondary Analysis The secondary outcomes measures of the clinical study represent characteristics of the glucose profile including time spent in the low (hypoglycemic) range, time spent high (hyperglycemic) range, and the time spent with glucose under control (between 70-180 mg/dL).

Chapter 33 – Basal-IQ Technology Clinical Study Overview Table 8. Secondary Analysis by Time of Day (N=102) Table 8 provides details about the glucose levels during Daytime (6 AM to 10 PM) versus Nighttime (10 PM to 6 AM). The average glucose in the Study Arm during Daytime was 160 (±...
Chapter 33 – Basal-IQ Technology Clinical Study Overview 33.7 Insulin Delivery Differences Table 9 provides an overview of the how much insulin was used on average across the Study Arm (Basal-IQ Enabled) and the Control Arm (SAP). The amount of basal insulin used in 24 hours was 1.2 units less in the Study Arm vs.

Chapter 33 – Basal-IQ Technology Clinical Study Overview Table 10. Percent of CGM Sensor Values < 70 mg/dL The following table provides the accuracy of the PLGS Algorithm’s Suspend Actions relative to corresponding YSI values. Predicted Suspend Actions include when the PLGS Algorithm suspended insulin in response to a prediction of CGM readings falling below 80 mg/dL within the next 30 minutes.

Chapter 33 – Basal-IQ Technology Clinical Study Overview Table 11. Insulin Resumption Accuracy The following table provides the accuracy of the PLGS Algorithm’s Resume Actions relative to the corresponding YSI values. The Resume Actions were analyzed at the first opportunity to resume insulin based on the YSI data, then 5 minutes later and 10 minutes later.
