Significance of “Time below Range” as a Glycemic Marker Derived from Continuous Glucose Monitoring in Japanese Children and Adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes

Conclusion: We found similar TIR and comparatively higher TBR frequencies, particularly during sleep, than those that were previously reported. Possible reasons for the higher frequency of TBR include differences in the quality of insulin treatment and diabetes care between the present study and the European studies. The utilization of advanced technologies, such as a predictive low-glucose suspend-function pump or closed-loop therapy, can reduce the frequency of TBR, with a consequent increase in TIR frequency and comprehensive improvement in glycemic control.Horm Res Paediatr
