CGM Metrics and Targets for Adults and Pregnant Adults With Type 1 Diabetes: Recommendations of the International Consensus on Time in Range (43)

CGM Metric Standard Targets* Pregnancy Targets

Mean glucose Personalized target Personalized target
GMI Personalized target Personalized target
Glycemic variability (coefficient of variation), % <36 <36
TAR, level 2 <5% of time>250 mg/dL(13.9 mmol/L)
TAR, level 1 <25% of time181–250 mg/dL(10.1–13.9 mmol/L) <25% of time>140 mg/dL(7.8 mmol/L)
TIR >70% of time70–180 mg/dL(3.9–10.0 mmol/L) >70% of time63–140 mg/dL(3.5–7.8 mmol/L)
TBR, level 1 <4% of time54–69 mg/dL(3.0–3.8 mmol/L) <4% of time54–62 mg/dL(3.0–3.4 mmol/L)
TBR, level 2 (<54 mg/dL [<3.0 mmol/L]) <1% of time <1% of time

Targets were not recommended for GDM or pregnancy complicated by type 2 diabetes, as more data are needed. Bold type indicates targets that differ for pregnancy.

*

Goals vary for pediatric, older, and high-risk populations.

ADA recommends an A1C <6% (<42 mmol/mol) in pregnancy or a mean glucose <126 mg/dL (7 mmol/L).
