Background and aims: So far, HbA1c is the only metric of glucose control showing a strong association with chronic complications. However, it does not reflect short-term glycemic variability nor provides guidance in decreasing risk of hypoglycemia. More widespread use of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) has changed the way people with type 1 diabetes (T1D) manage their glycemia by providing information about glycemic variability and time spent in different glucose ranges.</...
