Abstract

Continuous glucose monitoring supports diabetes management but requires forecasting models that are accurate, interpretable, and efficient enough for real-time deployment. We present SSMCGM-Stream, a streaming state-space model that maintains a personalized hidden state updated with each incoming glucose reading to provide constant-time forecasting, physiologically structured counterfactual reasoning, and interpretable forecasts through hidden-state attribution. Built on this foundation, SSMCGM-Agent delivers risk-aware, natural-language decision support by translating forecasts, explanations, and counterfactuals into grounded recommendations through a guarded language-model interface. Evaluated on the T1DEXI cohort, SSMCGM-Stream achieves forecasting performance comparable to strong neural baselines while substantially reducing computational cost, enabling continuous on-device diabetes decision support.

Accurate blood glucose forecasting using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) data can support the early prediction of dysglycemic risk. However, current neural-network-based forecasting models treat CGM data as a purely numerical sequence without integrating the contextual information contained in CGM signal morphology. Recently, large language models (LLMs) have shown promise for time-series forecasting, yet their role as agentic context extractors in diabetes care remains largely unexplored. In this study, we bridge glucose forecasting and LLM-based contextualization by developing GlyRAG, a context-aware, retrieval-augmented forecasting framework that uses an LLM as a contextualization agent to summarize glucose morphology directly from a timed CGM window. The generated CGM-only narrative is embedded and fused with patch-based glucose representations, while a retrieval module incorporates similar historical training episodes through cross-attention. We evaluate GlyRAG on the OhioT1DM and AZT1D datasets for 5-, 30-, and 60-minute forecasting horizons. Compared with strong CGM-only baselines, GPT-4 GlyRAG significantly improves long-horizon root mean square error (RMSE) over PatchTST on both datasets. For example, RMSE decreases from 13.8 to 10.6 at 30 minutes and from 23.1 to 20.2 at 60 minutes on OhioT1DM. LLaMA 3.1 produces smaller but significant long-horizon gains, suggesting that the contextualization pipeline is not limited to GPT-4. Clinical error-grid analyses further show that approximately 85 percent of predictions fall within the clinically acceptable Clarke Error Grid Zones A and B. These results suggest that CGM-derived linguistic context and case-based retrieval can improve long-horizon glucose forecasting without requiring additional sensing modalities.
