OBJECTIVES: Time in range (TIR, 70-180 mg/dL) is an established marker of glycemic control. More recently, time in tight range (TTR, 70-140 mg/dL) has been proposed as well. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between TIR, TTR, and HbA1c in youth and young adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) in the German/Austrian/Luxembourgian/Swiss Diabetes Prospective Follow-up (DPV) registry. METHODS: Data of youth and young adults aged ≤25 years with T1D for >3 months, documented in the DPV registry between 2019 and 2022 were analyzed. The most recent available HbA1c and corresponding continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) profiles in the 12 preceding weeks with at least 80% completeness were included. Associations were investigated using correlation and adjusted regression models. RESULTS: = .312) However, adjusted regression models indicated a slightly better fit for the prediction of HbA1c from TIR compared with TTR. CONCLUSIONS: Based on large, real-world data from a multinational registry, TIR and TTR correlated strongly, and both showed a good prediction of HbA1c. TTR estimates predicted from TIR were significantly higher in people with high glucose variability (CV).
