glucopy.metrics.dt

glucopy.metrics.dt(df: DataFrame)

Calculates the Distance Travelled (DT).

\[DT = \sum_{i=1}^{N-1} | X_{i+1} - X_i |\]

• \(X_i\) is the glucose value at time i.

• \(N\) is the number of glucose readings.

Parameters:

df (pandas.DataFrame) – DataFrame containing the CGM values. The dataframe must contain ‘CGM’ column present in glucopy.Gframe.data.

Returns:

dt – Distance Travelled of CGM.

Return type:

float
