# Model Card for Gluformer Blood Glucose Prediction Model

This model uses past continuous glucose monitor (CGM) values to predict values for the next hour.

## Model Details

### Model Description

- **Developed by:** Renat Sergazinov, Mohammadreza Armandpour, Irina Gaynanova
- **Funded by:** Texas A&M University
- **Shared by:** Nat Jeffries
- **Model type:** Time series encoder-decoder Transformer

### Model Sources

- **Repository:** [Github](https://github.com/mrsergazinov/gluformer)
- **Paper:** [Arxiv](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2209.04526)

## How to Get Started with the Model

Use the code below to get started with the model.

```
from transformers import AutoModel, AutoConfig
from datetime import timedelta, datetime

model = AutoModel.from_pretrained('njeffrie/Gluformer-tiny', trust_remote_code=True)
config = AutoConfig.from_pretrained('njeffrie/Gluformer-tiny', trust_remote_code=True)

# Dummy input and timestamp values.
input_glucose = [100.0 for _ in range(config.len_seq)]
timestamps = [datetime(2025, 7, 25, 0, 0) + timedelta(minutes=5 * i) for i in range(len(input_glucose))]
subject_id = 0

pred, log_var = model(subject_id, timestamps, input_glucose)
```

Predictions will be predicted future glucose values in 5 minute increments. Log var indicates confidence. See the paper for more details.
