Noise Reduction in Glucose Sensors
Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems face significant challenges in signal accuracy and reliability. Raw sensor data contains multiple noise sources—including baseline drift that can exceed 0.5 mg/dL per hour, activity-induced artifacts of 10-20 mg/dL, and interference from medications like acetaminophen that can cause errors of up to 30%.
The fundamental challenge lies in distinguishing true glycemic changes from sensor artifacts while maintaining continuous operation across varying physiological conditions and patient activities.
This page brings together solutions from recent research—including adaptive calibration algorithms, redundant sensor architectures, medication interference compensation, and noise filtering techniques based on activity detection. These and other approaches focus on improving CGM reliability while reducing the need for frequent blood glucose measurements.

9. Continuous Glucose Monitoring Sensor Calibration Incorporating Insulin Delivery Adjustments
ABBOTT DIABETES CARE INC, 2025
Improving the accuracy of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) sensors by taking into account insulin delivery information during calibration. The method involves delaying or modifying the calibration routine when insulin is being delivered, as insulin affects the glucose measurement. The delay allows the glucose level to stabilize after insulin administration. When calibration is allowed, parameters like insulin dose and delivery time are factored in to improve sensitivity determination.

The goal is to provide more accurate CGM readings by accounting for insulin's impact on glucose levels during calibration.
