The Correlation between Time in Range and Diabetic Microvascular Complications Utilizing Information Management Platform.

The Correlation between Time in Range and Diabetic Microvascular Complications Utilizing Information Management Platform. Int J Endocrinol. 2020;2020:8879085 Authors: Sheng X, Xiong GH, Yu PF, Liu JP Abstract Background: In recent years, the time of blood glucose within the target range is a new research hotspot in blood glucose management. TIR is expected to be a novel indicator for evaluating the efficacy of glycemic control and predicting diabetic complications. However, its relationship with diabetic complications has not been fully elucidated. Objective: To explore the relationship between time in range (TIR) and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1C) through the information big data management platform. Possible association between TIR and diabetic microvascular complications (retinopathy, nephropathy, and neuropathy) was investigated, attempting to provide theoretical basis for the clinical application of TIR and to explore the TIR control scope suitable for diabetic patients. Methods: A total of 5,644 type 2 diabetic patients hospitalized in the Department of Endocrinology, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University, were selected from April 2017 to June 2020. Fingertip capillary blood glucose monitoring (FCGM) was monitored for a total of 455,664 times, and patients who are nondiabetic, pregnant, or with diabetic ketosis were excluded. Patients with 7 blood glucose points monitored for at least three cons...
