The more time people with diabetes spend in their target range, the better and healthier they feel.1
It’s not all about A1C anymore. Time In Range is the percentage of time spent with glucose levels in a healthy range, defined by the International Consensus on Time In Range as 3.9-10.0 mmol/L. And yet more than half of people with insulin-treated diabetes said they do not use a metric to gauge treatment success¹ even though the majority of people (81%) know about it.

Above Range
When a person's glucose levels are too high, they can feel thirsty, get headaches, experience blurred vision and are at risk of DKA, which can lead to diabetic coma.3 You should spend less than 25% in this range (6 hours a day).
Below Range
When a person's glucose levels are too low, they can feel hungry, shaky, or anxious and are at risk of a severe hypoglycemic event.3
In Range
When a person's glucose levels are in target range, they can feel healthier, more energetic and alert - they can do more and live their best life.1
The International Consensus on Time In Range recommends people with diabetes should try to keep their glucose levels within a target range of 3.9 - 10.0 mmol/L at least 70% of the time. Consult with your doctor to determine your individual target range.
- Glucose Level
The best way to measure Time In Range is to use a Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) system, like Dexcom G6. Use of CGM has been shown to increase Time In Range by an average of nearly 5 hours per day.2
