AB  - Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) provides comprehensive assessment of daily glucose measurements for patients with diabetes and can reveal high and low blood glucose values that may occur even when a patient’s A1C is adequately controlled. Among the measures captured by CGM, the percentage of time in the target glycemic range, or “time in range” (typically 70–180 mg/dL), has emerged as one of the strongest indicators of good glycemic control. This review examines the shift to using CGM to assess glycemic control and guide diabetes treatment decisions, with a focus on time in range as the key metric of glycemic control.
