AbstractTime in range (TIR) is an index of glycemic control obtained from continuous glucose monitoring (CGM). The aim was to compare the glycemic variability of treatment with sulfonylureas (SUs) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with well-controlled glucose level (TIR > 70%). The study subjects were 123 patients selected T2DM who underwent CGM more than 24 h on admission without changing treatment. The primary endpoint was the difference in glycemic variability, while the secondary endpoint was the difference in time below range < 54 mg/dL; TBR < 54, between the SU (n = 63) and non-SU (n = 60) groups. The standard deviation, percentage coefficient of variation (%CV), and maximum glucose level were higher in the SU group than in the non-SU group, and TBR < 54 was longer in the high-dose SU patients. SU treatment was identified as a significant factor that affected %CV (β: 2.678, p = 0.034). High-dose SU use contributed to prolonged TBR < 54 (β: 0.487, p = 0.028). Our study identified enlarged glycemic variability in sulfonylurea-treated well-controlled T2DM patients and high-dose SU use was associated with TBR < 54. The results highlight the need for careful adjustment of the SU dose, irrespective of glycated hemoglobin level or TIR value.

Time In Range

Abstract Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disease that causes blood glucose (BG) concentration to make dangerous excursions outside its physiological range. Measuring the fraction of time spent by BG outside this range, and, specifically, the time-below-range (TBR), is a clinically common way to quantify the effectiveness of therapies. TBR is estimated from data recorded by continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) sensors, but the duration of CGM recording guaranteeing a reliable indicator is under debate in the literature. Here we framed the problem as random variable estimation problem and studied the convergence of the estimator, deriving a formula that links the TBR estimation error variance with the CGM recording length. Validation is performed on CGM data of 148 subjects with type-1-diabetes. First, we show the ability of the formula to predict the uncertainty of the TBR estimate in a single patient, using patient-specific parameters; then, we prove its applicability on population data, without the need of parameters individualization. The approach can be straightforwardly extended to other similar metrics, such as time-in-range and time-above-range, widely adopted by clinicians. This strengthens its potential utility in diabetes research, e.g., in the design of those clinical trials where minimal CGM monitoring duration is crucial in cost-effectiveness terms.
