Why the study?
Continuous glucose monitoring metrics are emerging indicators beyond HbA1c, but their associations with cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy in type 2 diabetes needed investigation.
Are continuous glucose monitoring-derived metrics associated with the presence and severity of cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy in outpatients with type 2 diabetes?
Population
284 outpatients with type 2 diabetes who underwent CGM and autonomic function tests
Comparison
Associations across CGM-derived TIR, hyperglycemia, and hypoglycemia metrics
Design
Cross-sectional study

Supports CGM-derived TIR for CAN evaluation in T2D; leaves open causality and need for prospective trials.
Are continuous glucose monitoring-derived metrics associated with the presence and severity of cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy in outpatients with type 2 diabetes?
Higher time in range and lower time above range on continuous glucose monitoring are associated with a lower prevalence and severity of cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy in patients with type 2 diabetes.
