Youth <21 years with T1D and ≥70% CGM active time in each window were included. Pearson correlation and interclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) between 14-day data and other windows were calculated. Differences in the percentage of youth within predetermined thresholds of 14-day CGM metrics (±0.3% glucose management indicator [GMI]; ±5% time in range [TIR]/time in tight range; ±1% time below range <70 and <54 mg/dL) were assessed using chi-squared analyses.
