New definitions of hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia, and time in glycemic range

Outcome Definition
Hypoglycemia Level 1: glucose < 70 mg/dL (3.9 mmol/L) and glucose ≥ 54 mg/dl (3.0 mmol/L)
Level 2: glucose < 54 mg/dL (3.0 mmol/L)
Level 3: a severe event characterized by altered mental and/or physical status requiring assistance
Hyperglycemia Level 1 (elevated glucose): glucose > 180 mg/dL (10 mmol/L) and glucose ≤ 250 mg/dlL(13.9 mmol/L)
Level 2 (very elevated glucose): glucose > 250 mg/dL (13.9 mmol/L)
Time in range Percentage of readings in the range of 70–180 mg/dL (3.9–10.0 mmol/L) per unit of time
