Abstract

Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) foundation models encode each day as one vector that mixes who the person is, what happened that day and how the sensor measured it, so measurement differences travel with the representation into new cohorts. We ask whether pretraining can place the measurement component that harms transfer in known coordinates, so that deployment drops them with a fixed projection and no target data. GlucoPRISM supervises a GlucoFM backbone with response contracts, rules for how each part of the representation should change when only the day or only the sensor changes: a 64-dimensional Trait band should change with neither, a 48-dimensional State band only across days, and a 16-dimensional Sensor band should track the device. Synthetic sensor views calibrated on paired Dexcom and Libre recordings, different-day pairs and glucose-summary targets supply this supervision without clinical labels. Across twelve cross-cohort directions, dropping the Sensor band from the same frozen encoder raises mean transfer AUROC from 68.75 to 73.57, against 69.3 for GlucoFM. The gain has two parts. Into CGMacros, the one target cohort recorded with two sensor types, filtering adds 11 to 19 points, and this holds when the generator is recalibrated on half of the participants and scored on the other half. On the other eight directions filtering is neutral and the encoder itself exceeds GlucoFM by 3.5 points. The device remains linearly decodable after filtering, so the filter removes a device-related component that harms transfer rather than all measurement information. The retained bands improve window AUROC on thirteen of fourteen public task--cohort cells (Holm-adjusted p=0.031) and correlation on fourteen of fifteen clinical endpoints in an external cohort of 9,303 participants.

GlucoFM: A Dual-Stream Foundation Model for Continuous Glucose Monitoring

Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) provides a dense view of daily metabolic physiology, yet existing generic time-series and CGM-specific foundation models often encode glucose traces as entangled single-stream sequences, leaving the distinct temporal structure of glycemic dynamics only implicitly modeled. We present GlucoFM, a lightweight CGM foundation model that aligns irregular recordings to a 24-hour chronological grid, preserves observation masks, and decomposes glucose dynamics into slow physiological state and transient event streams, capturing low-frequency glycemic baselines and short-term deviations that may reflect acute physiological responses or sensor artifacts. GlucoFM is pretrained on 109,066 hours of unlabeled CGM recordings from 477 subjects with two complementary objectives: masked contextual latent prediction over fused daily representations and temporal dynamics prediction over state and event streams. Across four diverse cohorts and seven clinical prediction tasks, GlucoFM achieves the strongest subject-disjoint linear-probing performance among evaluated baselines, improving average PR-AUC by 4.1 points over the best CGM-specific foundation model. Its gains are most pronounced on core metabolic outcomes, leading PR-AUC on all diabetes-risk and ββ-cell dysfunction tasks and on 3 of 4 insulin-resistance tasks. GlucoFM also achieves the best overall cross-dataset transfer performance and strong few-shot adaptation among evaluated methods, and consistent gains when aggregating multiple days for subject-level prediction, highlighting physiology-aware decomposition as an effective inductive bias for transferable CGM representation learning.

CGM-JEPA: Learning Consistent Continuous Glucose Monitor Representations via Predictive Self-Supervised Pretraining

Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) can detect early metabolic subphenotypes (insulin resistance, IR; ββ-cell dysfunction), but population-scale deployment faces two coupled problems. First, the same physiological state appears through multiple views (CGM time series, venous OGTT, Glucodensity summaries), so single-view representations fail to transfer when deployment shifts the modality or setting. Second, baselines perform inconsistently across these shifts. Both problems point to one remedy: representations that abstract away from any single view to capture higher-level temporal and distributional structure. We propose CGM-JEPA, a self-supervised pretraining framework which predicts masked latent representations rather than raw values, yielding abstraction that transfers across modalities. X-CGM-JEPA adds a masked Glucodensity cross-view objective for complementary distributional information. We pretrain on ∼\sim389k unlabeled CGM readings from 228 subjects and evaluate on two clinical cohorts (N=27N=27 and N=17N=17 public-release subsets) across three regimes (cohort generalization, venous-to-CGM transfer, home CGM) under 20-iteration ×\times 2-fold cross-validation. X-CGM-JEPA ranks first or second on AUROC for both endpoints across all three regimes while no baseline does, exceeding the strongest baseline by up to +6.5+6.5 pp in cohort generalization and +3.6+3.6 pp in venous-to-CGM transfer (paired Wilcoxon, p<0.001p<0.001). Under modality shift, it matches mean AUROC while redistributing toward weaker subgroups (ethnicity AUROC gap shrinks 25-54%); on sparse in-domain venous data, the distributional view lifts label-aware clustering (ARI +39%+39\%, NMI +40%+40\%).

Transferable Evidence Reconstruction for Longitudinal Glucose Representations

Long physiological recordings contain many routine measurements, while predictive information often lies in rare events, sustained burden, and recurring patterns. These properties can be computed as label-free evidence, but directly using them as features leaves limited labeled data to separate reproducible associations from sample-specific ones. Learning to reconstruct evidence can exploit unlabeled recordings, yet joint reconstruction does not explicitly require the decoding rule to transfer across individuals. We introduce transferable evidence reconstruction (TER): a Ridge regressor fits evidence from representations in one group and predicts it in an identity-disjoint group without refitting. The transfer error trains the encoder through the differentiable fit. For continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), clock-aware encoding preserves the multi-day content and timing needed for evidence recovery. Matched interventions connect the gains to reduced fitting-group sensitivity, with structured targets improving on raw recovery. Across ten leading CGM and time-series baselines, TER sets a new best metric on 12/14 phenotype tasks and exceeds the strongest prior overall PR-AUC/ROC-AUC/Macro-F1 by 4.95/4.43/0.66 percentage points; the PR-AUC and ROC-AUC gains are 2.6×2.6\times and 2.2×2.2\times the respective gaps between the two strongest baselines. Meal-response and future-CGM studies further demonstrate predictive utility. TER thus uses meaningful signal properties to supervise not only what a representation preserves, but how reliably it can be read across individuals.
