Identifying reliable glycemic indicators for the assessment of islet function and renal complications remains a major challenge in diabetology. Time in Range (TIR) and Glycemia Risk Index (GRI), two continuous glucose monitoring (CGM)-based metrics, have recently emerged as potential tools for assessing glycemic control beyond HbA1c.
