Abstract: Various examples are directed to systems and methods for monitoring a patient. For example, patient data of a first type may be monitored with a low-fidelity monitoring technique over a first time period. Patient behavior may be evaluated based on the monitored first type of patient data. Patient data of a second type may be monitored over a second time period with a continuous glucose monitor device. A parameter of the continuous glucose monitor device may be based on the evaluated patient behavior during the monitoring.
