Formula & Mathematical Methodology: CGM GMI % & Glycemic CV% Formula

GMI (%) = 3.31 + 0.02392 × MeanCGMmgdL
GlycemicCV (%) = (GlucoseSD / MeanCGM) × 100
GMI (%) = 3.31 + 0.02392 × MeanCGM_mg_dL; Glycemic_CV (%) = (Glucose_SD / MeanCGM) × 100

CGM Glucose Management Indicator (GMI %) & Coefficient of Variation (%CV) Calculator: inputs, method, and how to read the result

Compute CGM GMI (%) and glycemic variability %CV from mean sensor glucose and SD.

Choose inputs for the case you are checking

The defaults are illustrative. Replace them with values for your case and keep the units shown beside each field.

  • Mean Sensor Glucose Mg Dl: 14- to 90-day mean CGM sensor glucose in mg/dL.
  • Sensor Glucose Std Dev Mg Dl: Standard deviation (SD) of CGM sensor glucose readings in mg/dL.
  • Time In Range70to180 Pct: Percentage of readings within 70–180 mg/dL (target >70%).

What the calculation includes

With the default values shown, Glucose Management Indicator (GMI) is 6.71 % GMI. The calculation follows CGM GMI % & Glycemic CV% Formula; the formula and variable definitions above show how the inputs combine.

One-input check: With the other defaults held constant, changing Mean Sensor Glucose Mg Dl from 142 mg/dL to 156 mg/dL changes Glucose Management Indicator (GMI) from 6.71 % GMI to 7.04 % GMI. This is a comparison inside the calculator's stated model, not a prediction.

Where to use caution

  • Uses peer-reviewed clinical and sports physiology formulas.
  • For educational and informational reference only; clinical scores do not replace physician judgment or laboratory reference ranges.

Scope: Global Clinical & Sports Science Consensus Check the assumptions and limitations against your situation before relying on the estimate.
