Hi there,

The current definition of level 1 hypoglycemia as per the international consensus (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29162583/) is any cgm reading of <70–54 mg/dL (3.9–3.0 mmol/L) for at least 15 min. If I use the episode_calculation function to calculate frequency of level 1 hypoglycemia with lvl1_hypo and lvl2_hypo threshold set at the aforementioned threshold, does the level 1 frequency calculated include all of the cgm reading below 70 mg/dL or only the ones within 70-54 mg/dL range? Thank you

Hi, apologies for the delay on this, I was on leave in the summer. I just merged a pull request that corrects some issues in episode calculations and follows the most recent consensus for level 1 versus level 2. Due to the specifics of wording and definition of episodes, level 2 is considered a subset of level 1.
