If you use the time-in-range metric, how often do you usually look at your time-in-range reports?

Religiously, once a week, usually Saturday or Sunday am’s. I’ve been thinking about keeping a 52-week report card to include TIR, standard deviation, and maybe 1 or 2 other things.
Just use records on my Omnipod. What are Time In Range Reports?
OK. Now I see what it is. Can’t really see it on Dexcom G6. Would like to learn how.
The Dexcom Clarity app has the time in range reports and lots of other great info!
Hi Sahran –
Both Dexcom and Omnipod have individual places to download your data to receive your TIR percentage.
But, with Tidepool you can download both and receive both machines in one website.
I imagine you have the Dexcom cable already easily available as it is also your charger (the green cable where the plug in thing can be removed and become a USB).
The Omnipod cable would have come when you first got started with them…. I had to search for mine when I started downloading my data. Mine (and likely yours, too) is a 6ft black cable with a USB on one side and the other side plugs into the Omnipod.
If you go to the individual websites, you’ll have to sign up with Clarity for Dexcom and Glooko for Omnipod.
I hope that helps!
Dexcom Clarity app tells you how you are doing, including the TIR; Dexcom mobile app tells you where you are, and how fast it is changing. Check out Dexcom Clarity and weekly notifications…
I said at my appointments which are every 4 months because my A1C is so good (5.9). But I think doctors should begin to stress TIR more. They assume a low A1C means too many lows but only looking hard at the TIR report can that be accurately assessed.
Dexcom Clarity sends me a report every Sunday morning which includes all the relevant information for the past week. Although I’m pretty much aware of my TIR and other metrics along the way, it’s nice to see something like that reporting good numbers.
I said daily. The newest version of the t:slim app includes time in range for the previous 24-hour period.
I’ve never heard of a Time In Range report. I don’t know how to get it.
Whoops. I answered wrong. Instead of once every few months, I should have put only at my diabetes appointments.
G6 reports to Sugarmate and %TIR is reported daily.
Talk about a nag.
Usually several times a day.
My pump reminds me of time in range and automatically corrects for highs and lows.
I have never heard of “time-in-range-” what does this refer to?
Sharon Lillibridge, if you have a CGM, it is generally recognized (I believe it is by the American Diabetes Association) that diabetics should try to keep their blood sugar levels within the range of 70 and 180.
With the the clarity app on my iPhone and can check the information at any time and I do in a regular basis.
Every single day, because Clarity automatically sends it to me daily. I also get the TIR report for one week so you can see how many times you stayed in range. I think that comes from Clarity daily as well.
Random. Sometimes more often than other times
Count me in as another one who’s never heard of it.
Haha, Madam OCD here;)
It varies. If I’m having any issues I check it more often. Recently, it’s averaged about once a week.
I receive a weekly report which I read and informs me of time in range, the change in this from last week, my avg glucose for this week, my standard deviation from it, and my patterns.
I chose once every couple of months as I do not sign in to the site to look at reports in more depth that often unless it feels like I need to adjust my insulin or before quarterly doctor appointments.
I get Dexcom Clarity alerts on whether I made my goal, which I set at 90%. I look at on a regular basis because the only way I can meet that is to limit post meal elevations and avoid freq hypoglycemia. It has helped me to focus on post meal elevations especially.
I look at TIR every day, but only run the complete reports once per week and review them in detail.
I use the Dex and T-slim Smart Phone programs all the time on my Phone. The time in range is displayed on the T-Slim program and easy to see anytime you are using the phone.
