Abstract

Introduction and Objective: The use of continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) has expanded to people without diabetes, offering actionable insights that support healthy behavior and lifestyle change. Integrating CGM data with other wearable signals may clarify how glucose interacts with sleep, activity, and cardiovascular physiology. We sought to characterize these associations and evaluate the utility of multimodal wearable data. Methods: We analyzed de-identified data from 46,033 adults (67% female, age range 18-90), who wore an Oura Ring and used a Dexcom Stelo glucose biosensor for at least 7 days, for a total of 1,353,416 days. Outcomes were daily mean glucose, glucose variability (coefficient of variation, CV), and time above range >140 mg/dL (TAR). Oura Ring metrics included nighttime heart rate (HR), heart-rate variability (HRV), cardiovascular age (CVA), sleep duration and efficiency, activity (steps). We modeled these associations using cubic B-spline regressions adjusted for age, sex, and BMI. Results: The median daily mean glucose in the sample was 109 mg/dL, median CV 12.7%, median TAR 55 min. Higher HRV, sleep efficiency, and more steps per day were associated with lower glucose (Fig 1). Conversely, higher HR and CVA were associated with higher glucose. Conclusion: Oura physiological metrics show associations with glucose biosensor data, supporting the utility of research for their use in scalable metabolic health assessment and interventions.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
