Time in range, other CGM metrics linked to diabetic retinopathy risk in type 1 diabetes

“Our study confirms that time in range, as well as time in tight target range, is associated with incident diabetic retinopathy,” Viral N. Shah, MD, associate professor of medicine and pediatrics in the adult clinic of the Barbara Davis Center for Diabetes at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, told Healio. “We only evaluated diabetic retinopathy in our study, but I am confident to extrapolate this finding to other microvascular complications such as nephropathy risk as well.”
