Statistical techniques used in analysing simultaneous continuous glucose monitoring and ambulatory electrocardiography in patients with diabetes: A systematic review.

Most studies underutilised statistical methods suitable for analysis of dynamic continuous data, potentially attenuating their statistical power and overall conclusions. We recommend that aggregated data be used only as exploratory analysis, while primary analysis should use methods applied to the raw data such as mixed models or functional data analyses. These methods are widely available in many free, open source software applications.
