Authors' conclusion

Lower TIR was associated with advanced CKM syndrome

Study context

Population
Adults aged ≥60 years with T2D; advanced cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome = stages 3–4 per American Heart Association Presidential Advisory
Participants
2,497 adults
Exposure
Time in range (TIR) categories and advanced CKM syndrome
Outcome
Advanced CKM syndrome (stages 3-4)

Main finding

Advanced CKM syndrome per 1-SD decrease in TIR

As reported in the abstract

Lower TIR with advanced vs non-advanced CKM syndrome
P < 0.001

Observational data: associations, not effects.

Safety

Hypoglycaemia exposure

Higher TIR was not associated with increased hypoglycemia exposure
