More time spent in low blood sugar range tied to poorer mood in diabetes patients: Study
USA: The time in range (%TIR) within blood sugar targets is likely to boost daily mood in people with type 1 diabetes (T1D), suggests a recent study in the Journal of Diabetes and its Complications. The researchers further found that more time spent in severe hypergycemia or episode of fall of blood sugar is associated with poorer mood. Time in range is greater time each day within blood sugar targets (70 – 180 mg/dL).
W.H.Polonsky and A.L.Fortmann from USA investigated the impact of time in range on mood in adults with type 1 diabetes.
For the purpose, the researchers followed a cohort of 219 adults with T1D. All the participants has a real-time continuous glucose monitoring system (RT-CGM) for investigating how daily changes in CGM metrics was associated with nightly reports of positive and negative mood over a two-week period.
