Time in range #bestdiabetologistinperambur #bestcardiologistinkolathur

Time in Range (TIR) is the percentage of time a person with Diabetes spends with blood glucose in range of 70-180 mg/dl.

It is a key metric from continuous glucose monitors (CGM) for managing diabetes, with a goal of more than 70% time in range

Key Components and Targets
  • Target Range: For most, 70 to 180 mg/dL.
  • Time in Range (TIR) Goal: more than 70 percentage (roughly 17 hours per day).
  • Target Below Range (TBR): less than 4 percentage (under 70 mg/dL).
  • Target Above Range (TAR): less than 25 percentage (over 180 mg/dL).

  • Why Time in Range Matters
    • Superior to A1C: TIR provides daily, actionable data on glucose fluctuations, whereas A1C only shows a 3-month average.
    • Reduces Risks: Higher TIR is linked to lower risks of long-term diabetes complications.
    • Actionable Insights: Helps identify how diet, exercise, and medication impact blood sugar immediately.
    • Individualized: Goals can be adjusted for pregnancy (typically 63–140 mg/dL), older adults, or specific comorbiditie
