TIR vs HbA1c in type 2 diabetes
TIR ( time in range ) vs HbA1C in type 2 diabetes .. can you please tell more in detail the comparison between both these parameters ..
there’s a lot of research going on on time in range or TIR. For people who do not know what that means is that how much time your glucose remains in the normal range during the day before and after eating . For eg hemoglobin of A1c 7 means your average blood sugar is 150. but that 150 average could be a time in range between 125 to 175 or between 50 to 225 throughout the day so the time in range 125 to 175 has been shown to be associated with less development of diabetic complications, including eye disease, kidney disease, and cardiovascular disease. The time range range has recently been in research so longitude studies will be needed to see if the data pans out for 10 years or longer . A lot of data is in type one diabetes, but type two diabetes data is now starting to come out as well. Hope that answers your question. All of us should try to keep the range low anyway, because the high and the low fluctuations are not good for general well being as well .
