Time in Range
Hemoglobin A1c (A1C) became the gold standard for blood sugar management after the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT) demonstrated the strong association between A1C levels and the risk of chronic vascular complications. Although its important role in diabetes management as a clinical trial outcome and as a predictor of long-term diabetic complications cannot be overstated, A1C does have certain limitations. A1C is an average of blood sugar measurements over 2 to 3 months.
But with the advent of continuous blood glucose monitors (CGM), daily fluctuations can be detected in blood glucose levels.
Time in Range (TIR) is the percentage of time in which blood glucose levels remain in a target range. American Diabetes Association (ADA) guidelines suggest a range of 70 to 180 mg/dl.
TIR captures the highs, lows, and in-range values that characterize daily life with diabetes. Thinking about blood glucose in terms of TIR offers a more precise understanding of diabetes. You can see how specific foods, behaviors, or exercise affect your TIR.
Time in Range is Correlated with Complications
Studies suggest that TIR can effectively predict long-term diabetes complications (Diabetes Care 2019, Diabetes Care 2018) such as eye disease (retinopathy) and kidney disease (microalbuminuria). As Time in Range increased, complications decreased.
TIR and other blood sugar metrics—especially when measured with continuous glucose monitoring—add value as outcome measures in many studies.
