Continuous glucose monitoring‑derived time in range and coefficient of variation (CV) are associated with elevated risk of adverse kidney outcomes for patients with type 2 diabetes

Diabetes MetabPublished Retrospective cohort study

Authors' conclusion

This study found that TIR and CV are significantly associated with CKD progression, proteinuria deterioration, all-cause mortality, and the risk of MACE.

Study context

Population
Patients with T2D hospitalized July 2020 to December 2022; Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) at baseline (3-day glucose profiles)
Participants
1,274 patients
Exposure
CGM-derived time in range (TIR) and CV and chronic-kidney-disease (CKD) progression
Outcome
CKD progression
Follow-up
Median 923 days

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

TIR, HR per 10% increment (95% CI 0.83-0.91); lower TIR categories had markedly increased risk

0.90

CV, HR per 10% increment (95% CI 1.07-1.59); higher CV positively related to risk

1.30

Observational data: associations, not effects.

Secondary outcomes

Albuminuria worsening, all-cause mortality, MACE

TIR and CV significantly associated with proteinuria deterioration, all-cause mortality and MACE risk

Subgroups and sensitivity analyses

Results consistent across subgroups and sensitivity analyses
