WHAT IS TIME IN RANGE?

 

 

The Time In Range is the percentage of your time that you spend within your target glucose range (3.9mmol/L-10mmol/L)

 

Here are different examples of Time in Range:

WHY IS TIME IN RANGE IMPORTANT?

Every 10% increase in the time you spend in the target range can lower your A1c by 0.8%1

Every extra hour in range has a positive impact on your glucose control2

Spending more “Time In Range” can reduce the development of long-term health complications3

Guidelines recommend spending at least 70% of your “Time In Range” (3.9-10mmol/L)2,4

WHEN YOUR TIME IN RANGE INCREASES, YOUR A1c DECREASES
