The Relationship Between Glycated Hemoglobin and Time in Range in a Pediatric Population

Diabetes Technol TherPublished Retrospective cohort study

Authors' conclusion

In conclusion, a strong correlation was found between HbA1c and TIR, making TIR a potentially complementary metric to HbA1c. TIR2w seems a viable alternative to TIR12w. TAR also seems promising in assessing glycemic control.

Study context
