Cross‐sectional association of continuous glucose monitoring‐derived metrics with cerebral small vessel disease in older adults with type 2 diabetes

Diabetes Obes MetabPublished Cross-sectional study

Authors' conclusion

The hyperglycaemia metrics and TIR, derived from CGM, were associated with cerebral SVD in older adults with type 2 diabetes.

Study context

Population
Older adults (≥70 years) with T2D who underwent 14-day continuous glucose monitoring (CGM)analysed
Participants
80 adults
Outcome
Association of CGM-derived metrics with total cerebral small vessel disease (SVD) score (0-4: lacunes, microbleeds, enlarged perivascular spaces, white matter hyperintensities), ordinal logistic regression

Main finding

1

Time in range (TIR) (per 10% increase) associated with lower total SVD score, OR

0.73

95% CI 0.56–0.95

Observational data: associations, not effects.
