Abstract
Background
To evaluate the correlation between continuous glucose monitoring (CGM)-derived metrics such as time in range (TIR) and time below range (TBR) and clinical parameters in Indian patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), providing insights into the effectiveness of CGM in this population.
Methods
This is a single-center, retrospective-observational study of T2DM patients aged 18 or older years using the Freestyle Libre/Libre Pro CGM system. Demographic and clinical data of these patients were extracted from medical records, and glycemic metrics from CGM profiles.
Results
The study included 248 T2DM patients, of whom 72.98 % were male, with a mean age of 60.48 years and a mean HbA1c value of 8.319 %. Linear regression analysis revealed that TIR was significantly negatively associated with HbA1c values (coefficient=-6.746) and duration of diabetes (coefficient=-0.425). The body mass index (BMI) showed a positive association with TIR (coefficient=0.649; P = 0.032). For TBR, only HbA1c values showed a significant negative association (coefficient=-1.051; P = 0.009), whereas age, duration of diabetes, and BMI were not significant predictors.
Conclusion
The study highlights the significant relationships between CGM-derived metrics (TIR and TBR), and clinical parameters in Indian patients with T2DM, and their effectiveness in identifying patients at risk of inadequate glycemic control.
期刊介绍:
The journal publishes original research articles and high quality reviews in the fields of clinical care, diabetes education, nutrition, health services, psychosocial research and epidemiology and other areas as far as is relevant for diabetology in a primary-care setting. The purpose of the journal is to encourage interdisciplinary research and discussion between all those who are involved in primary diabetes care on an international level. The Journal also publishes news and articles concerning the policies and activities of Primary Care Diabetes Europe and reflects the society''s aim of improving the care for people with diabetes mellitus within the primary-care setting.
