TL;DR

Re-evaluates three PPG blood-glucose models (TinyML, CBHFF, CatBoost) on three datasets under five protocols: random split, subject-wise random split, participant-aware split, leave-some-participants-out and cross-dataset OOD. Random splits give the best numbers; performance falls sharply under subject separation, and cross-dataset OOD gives near-zero or negative R², while Clarke Error Grid A+B stays at 97–100% even when regression fails.
