Definition: Percentage of time blood glucose was below the alarm level and the
alarm issued within 15 minutes before or after the glucose event.
Missed Detection Rate
Tells you: When you were low, did you miss a low glucose alarm?
Definition: Percentage of time blood glucose was below the alarm level and the
alarm didn’t issue within 15 minutes before or after the glucose event.
For example, the Adult subject group found that for a Low Glucose alarm level set
to 70 mg/dL:
84.3% of the time a low glucose alarm was received when blood glucose was
indeed below the alarm level but 15.7% of the time a low glucose alarm was
received when blood glucose wasn’t actually below the alarm level.
89.0% of the time blood glucose was below the alarm level and a low glucose
alarm was appropriately issued but 11.0% of the time the glucose event was
missed and no alarm was issued.
