At the 2019 Advanced Technologies & Treatments for Diabetes (ATTD), we got a preview of the international consensus report on TIR goals
The refined report has now been published online in Diabetes Care. The key takeaways were that people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes should aim to spend:
- At least 70% of TIR (70-180 mg/dl) = 4-10 mmol/l
- Less than 25% of time above 180 mg/dl = 10 mmol/l
- Less than 5% of time below 70 mg/dl = 3,9 mmol/l
Importantly, the panel of authors add that even if a person isn’t at 70% in-range, every 5% increase in TIR is significant! After all, along with many notable researchers and clinicians, every 5% increase is equal to approximately one hour or more a day spent in range. There is also a fixed relation between % TIR and HbA1c
The hope is that the recommended goals increase CGM use – until now, there had not been any agreement on what appropriate time-in-range goals should be.
We were particularly happy that this working group was patient-oriented – diaTribe Editor-in-Chief Kelly Close was a part of the author group as were other renowned researchers with diabetes, including JDRF CEO Dr. Aaron Kowalski and Dr. Irl Hirsch of the University of Washington.
