- Optimal control is a composite variable composed of the combination of TIR > 70% and TBR < 4%
- A consistent relationship is observed between higher socioeconomic status (SES) and better glycemic control as measured by glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), time in range (TIR), and the percentage of individuals within optimal control. Statistically significant differences are observed in all variables (p<0.001). As socioeconomic status (SES) decreases, there is an increased duration of time spent above the thresholds of 180 mg/dL and 250 mg/dL. However, no differences are observed in the time below range (TBR) of 70 mg/dL or in the coefficient of variation
- TIR Time in range (70-180mg/dL), HbA1c glycated haemoglobin, TBR Time below range(<70mg/dL), TAR Time above range (>180 mg/dL)
