Time in Tight Glucose Range in Type 1 Diabetes: Predictive Factors and Achievable Targets in Real-World Users of the MiniMed 780G System

OBJECTIVE We studied time in tight range (TITR) (70–140 mg/dL) in real-world users of the MiniMed 780G system (MM780G). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS CareLink Personal data were extracted (August 2020 to December 2022) to exam-ine TITR and its relationship with time in range (TIR; 70–180 mg/dL), factors pre-dicting higher TITR, and which TITR target is a reasonable treatment goal. RESULTS The 13,461 users (3,762 age ≤15 years and 9,699 age >15 years) showed an average TITR of 48.9% in those age ≤15 years and 48.8% in the older group (vs. TIR 71.2% and 73.9%, respectively). Consistent use of a glucose target (GT) of 100 mg/dL and active insulin time (AIT) of 2 h were the most relevant factors pre-dicting higher TITR (P < 0.0001). In users consistently applying these optimal set-tings, TITR was 56.7% in those age ≤15 years and 57.0% in the older group, and the relative impact of these settings on TITR was 60% and 86% greater than that on TIR, respectively. TITRs of ~45% (age ≤15 years 46.3% and older group 45.4%), ~50% (50.7% and 50.7%) and ~55% (56.4% and 58.0%) were best associated with glucose management indicators <7.0%, <6.8%, and <6.5%, respec-tively. TITRs of >45%, >50%, and >55% were achieved in 91%, 74%, and 55% of those age ≤15 years and 93%, 81%, and 57% of older group users, respectively, at optimal settings. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates that 1) mean TIR is high with a high mean TITR in MM780G users (>48%), 2) consistent use of optimal GT/AIT improves TITR (>56%), 3) the impact of these settings on TITR is larger than on TIR, and 4) a TITR target >50% is our suggested treatment goal.
