Narrative review reveals algorithmic barriers to autonomous continuous glucose monitoring in critically ill patients, highlighting the need for confidence-gated decision support systems.

Key Points

To examine algorithmic capabilities, sensor reliability constraints, and clinical integration strategies for continuous glucose monitoring systems managing extreme glycemic events in critical care.
Reviewed interpretive threshold- and trend-based rules alongside predictive machine-learning and time-series electronic health record algorithms.
Analyzed clinical and physiological sources of sensor error, including shock, vasopressor exposure, tissue edema, calibration drift, and workflow disruption.
Predictive machine-learning models show capability for forecasting dysglycemia in records, but prospective bedside validation using real-time continuous sensor streams remains lacking.
Time-varying physiological disruptions in critical illness impair sensor reliability, indicating that current evidence does not support fully autonomous insulin dosing.
A proposed safety architecture employs confidence gating to direct high-confidence data to clinician-in-the-loop support, intermediate confidence to confirmatory testing, and low confidence to blood-based backups.
