Relationship Between Daytime Versus Nighttime Continuous Glucose Monitoring Metrics with A1C in Adults with Type 1 Diabetes

Diabetes Technol TherPublished Secondary analysis of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) data from two studies

Authors' conclusion

Daytime versus nighttime glycemic control has similar influence on A1C in adults with T1D.

Study context

Population
Adults with T1D (age 39 ± 15 years, diabetes duration 20 ± 12 years, A1C 7.3% ± 1.4%, 53% female)
Participants
407 adults2 studies
Comparison
Daytime vs nighttime CGM metrics, within 5 A1C categories
Primary endpoint
Association of daytime vs nighttime CGM metrics (mean glucose, TIR 70-180 mg/dL, TTIR 70-140 mg/dL, TAR >180 mg/dL) with A1C, within five A1C categories

Primary result

As reported in the abstract

Mean glucose, daytime vs nighttime, by A1C category
A1C <7%: daytime vs nighttime mean glucose
143.2 ± 22.7 vs. 143.6 ± 25.0
A1C 7.0%-7.9%: daytime vs nighttime mean glucose
171.4 ± 17.3 vs. 175.3 ± 28.8
A1C 8.0%-8.9%: daytime vs nighttime mean glucose
193.4 ± 19.4 vs. 195.3 ± 29.5
A1C 9.0%-9.9%: daytime vs nighttime mean glucose
214.9 ± 28.8 vs. 219.7 ± 36.1
A1C ≥10%: daytime vs nighttime mean glucose
244.0 ± 39.0 vs. 239.9 ± 50.9

Further findings

Other CGM metrics (time in range (TIR), TTIR, TAR), daytime vs nighttime

No difference between CGM metrics by daytime vs nighttime within five A1C groups

Differences between A1C groups in daytime vs nighttime mean glucose, TIR, TTIR, TAR

Not statistically significant
all P > 0.05
