The Associations of Mean Glucose and Time in Range from Continuous Glucose Monitoring with HbA1c in Adults with Type 2 Diabetes

Diabetes Technol TherPublished Secondary analysis of the HYPNOS randomised trial

Authors' conclusion

Mean glucose and HbA1c are strongly correlated in type 2 diabetes patients not taking insulin but discordance is evident at the individual level.

Study context

Population
Adults with T2D in the Hyperglycemic Profiles in Obstructive Sleep Apnea (HYPNOS) trial, wearing Dexcom G4 and Abbott Libre Pro continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) sensors simultaneously up to 4 weeks
Participants
186 adults
