What is Time in Range?

Time in Range is the percentage of readings and time per day a person spends within target glucose range.
The FreeStyle Libre system automatically calculates the percentage of time your patient spends in, above, or below target range.

This Time in Target report shows a person who spent 75% of their day in target glucose range

The International consensus sets clear targets for Time in Ranges^1,2

Recommended Times in Range for adults with type 1 and type 2 diabetes who are not pregnant, not older, or at risk.²

^{Table adapted from Battelino et al, Clinical targets for continuous glucose monitoring data interpretation, recommendations from the international consensus on Time in Range.

For age <25 years, if A1c is 7.5%, Time in Range target is approximately 60%. For older/high risk: >50% of time/day in target range (3.9-10.0 mmol/L). For T1D pregnancy: >70% of time/day in target range (3.5-7.8 mmol/L).}

^{* Includes <1% of the day below 3.0 mmol/L

** Includes <5% of the day above 13.9 mmol/L.}

Why is Time in Range Important?

Every 10% increase in Time in Range can lower HbA1c
by 0.8% in type 1 and type 2 patients3

Every 5% (~1 hour per day) has a positive impact on your patients' glucose control²

Spending more Time in Range can reduce long-termeye and kidney complications⁴

Easily visualise Time in Range and set clear targets for your patients by using the FreeStyle Libre system

HbA1c has limitations

HbA1c reflects average glucose over the last 2-3 months; it does not show glycaemic excursions of hyper- and hypoglycaemia²

An increase in Time in Range results in a decrease in HbA1c

Estimate of A1c for a given Time in Range level based on T1D and T2D studies.³

.

Every 10% increase in Time in Range = ~0.8% decrease in A1c³

Every 5% (~1 hour per day) increase in Time in Range is associated with clinically significant benefits²

Easily visualise Time in Range for your patients

You and your patients can get Time in (Target) Range and AGP on the LibreView^₼ reports,
FreeStyle Libre reader and FreeStyle LibreLink app.^◊

With the new AGP Report you can:

See Time in Target guidelines and an overview of patient glucose data

Quickly assess your patients’ Time in Ranges

Identify trends and patterns at a glance

Identify specific times of deviation with the Daily Glucose Profiles

Discover AGP Report with Time in Range Training Presentation

Read case studies using AGP in clinical practice

“The importance of Time in Range” module on the FreeStyle Academy will allow you to better understand how a standard target glucose range can be used with each patient to set individual targets for Time in Range and how this can lead to improved glycaemic health and wellbeing.
