Abstract:
In our country, the prevalence of type 1 and type 2 diabetes is increasing year by year, while the glucose management of diabetic patients is indeed not satisfactory.Glycosylated hemoglobin, as an indicator of blood glucose management, has certain limitations.So, it is particularly important to explore other valuable evaluation indicators.Some studies found that, time-in-target-range of glucose is highly correlated with average blood glucose and has a linear negative correlation with glycosylated hemoglobin.Time in range(TIR) will be a key indicator for evaluating blood glucose compliance.In addition to blood glucose assessment, monitoring TIR can also reduce the frequency and duration of hypoglycemia in type 1 diabetes patients, improving the quality of life in type 1 diabetes patients.Besides that, TIR can also be used to assess the occurrence of microvascular and macrovascular complications in type 2 diabetes patients.Therefore, TIR is important for glucose management type 1 and type 2 diabetes patients.
