For users in the United States:

Time in Range (TIR) is an indication of how long blood sugar stays within a desired range. Although your range may be personalized on other devices, NowPatient Diabetes uses the range set out in the 2017 International Consensus, which is 70 - 180 mg / dl.

TIR is presented as a percentage. For instance, if you saw a TIR of 70%, this would indicate that about 17 hours out of the day were spent with blood sugars within the desired range.

It is important to remember that TIR can be different for everyone, and it can also change over time.

If you have shared your CGM data with NowPatient Diabetes, the app will look at your past data and compare to recent data to determine if blood sugar stayed within this range more since using NowPatient Diabetes.
