Table 3 Glucose variability (GV) parameters in both estimated periods—14-day period on CGM under usual everyday conditions and 24-h period on CGM under standard conditions, in the studied cohort and in the groups according to glucose tolerance—with normal glucose tolerance (NGT), with high 1-h postpoad glucose during OGTT > 8.6 mmol/l (1hrOGTT), and with isolated impaired glucose tolerance (iIGT)

From: Are standardized conditions needed for correct CGM data interpretation in subjects at early stages of glucose intolerance?
