Type 1 diabetes

Associations of time in tight range, time in range, and glycated hemoglobin with albuminuria in type 1 diabetes: A cross-sectional study

Diabetes Res Clin PractPublished Cross-sectional study

Authors' conclusion

TITR is independently associated with the risk of albuminuria in T1D, exhibiting a similar pattern to TIR but a different pattern from HbA1c. Very high TITR and TIR may provide information predicting albuminuria risk beyond HbA1c levels.

Study context

Population
Individuals with T1D with 14-day raw continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) data
Participants
615 individuals
Exposure
Associations of time in tight range (TITR), time in range (TIR) and HbA1c with albuminuria
Outcome
Albuminuria (spot urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio ≥ 30 mg/g); OR per 10 % increase in TITR

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

Albuminuria per 10 % increase in TITR

Adjusted OR per 10 % increase in TITR

0.98

95 % CI 0.96–0.99p = 0.002

Observational data: associations, not effects.

Further findings

Albuminuria per 10 % increase in TIR

Adjusted OR per 10 % increase in TIR
0.97 (95 % CI 0.96-0.99; p < 0.001)

Restricted cubic spline analysis

Albuminuria risk decreased with increasing TITR and TIR, plateaued near HbA1c 7 %, but further decreased at very high TITR and TIR levels; HbA1c had a single threshold
