Hourly (circadian) trends
get_hourly_trendsPool glucose readings by clock hour across a date range to reveal recurring daily patterns like dawn phenomenon and evening highs, explaining why glucose is high or low at certain times.
Instructions
Time In Range and average glucose pooled by clock-hour across the whole window, so every reading that fell in the 07:00 hour on any day is combined into one 07:00 row, and so on for all 24 hours.
Use it for "why am I always high/low at a certain time" questions, recurring circadian patterns, the dawn phenomenon and evening highs.
Hours are the device's own wall-clock hour (not UTC) — this already IS the patient's local hour at the time each reading was taken, so present it as-is with no conversion.
Returns: a byHour array of up to 24 rows, each with hour (wall clock, "HH:00"), averageBG, timeInRange, timeLow, timeHigh and the reading count for that hour. Glucose values are in the configured unit.
Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| end | Yes | Required. Window end as an ISO 8601 timestamp, e.g. 2026-06-20T00:00:00.000Z — plain wall clock time, same caveat as start (the "Z" is a format artifact, not a UTC claim). Treated as inclusive and must be after start. All timestamps returned by this API are likewise plain wall clock time, unconverted. | |
| lower | No | Optional. Low (hypo) boundary in the chosen unit; readings below it count as time-low. Omit to use the server default (OMNI_LOWER). Pass only to override for this one call, e.g. to ask about time under a different threshold. | |
| start | Yes | Required. Window start as an ISO 8601 timestamp, e.g. 2026-06-19T00:00:00.000Z. IMPORTANT: despite the trailing "Z", this is plain WALL CLOCK time, not true UTC — Glooko records only the literal date/time the patient's device showed, with no timezone attached. Use the patient's own wall-clock digits directly (no conversion): resolve "yesterday" or "last 3 weeks" straight into the matching wall-clock date and time. Treated as inclusive. | |
| units | No | Optional. Glucose unit for this call. Omit to use the unit configured on the server (OMNI_UNITS). One of: "mmol" (mmol/L) or "mgdl" (mg/dL). Pass only to override the configured unit for this one call. | |
| upper | No | Optional. High (hyper) boundary in the chosen unit; readings above it count as time-high. Omit to use the server default (OMNI_UPPER). Pass only to override for this one call. |
