Time In Range In Relation To All-Cause And Cardiovascular Mortality In Patients With Type 2 Diabetes

Researchers examined the link between time in range (TIR), an emerging metric for evaluating glycemic control, and death among patients with type 2 diabetes. From a single center in Shanghai, China, a total of 6,225 adult patients with type 2 diabetes were selected for inclusion. Continuous glucose monitoring at baseline was performed to measure TIR, and the participants were split into four categories by TIR: > 85%, 71–85%, 51–70%, and ≤ 50%. A median follow-up of 6.9 years revealed 838 deaths, of which 287 were attributed to cardiovascular disease (CVD). In patients with type 2 diabetes, findings revealed an increased risk of all-cause and CVD mortality in relation to a lower TIR. This implies that TIR is a valid surrogate marker of long-term adverse clinical results.
