Aim:
To investigate the association between treatment-induced change in continuous
glucose monitored (CGM) time-in-range (TIR) and albuminuria in persons with type
1 diabetes (T1D) treated with sensor-augmented-pumps (SAP).
Results:
Mean change (95%-CI) in %TIR was +13.2 (6.2;20.2)%,
HbA1C was -14.4 (-17.4;-10.5) mmol/mol [-1.3 (-1.6;-1.0)%] and urinary
albumin-creatinine-ratio (UACR) was -15 (-38;17)%, all p<0.05. UACR decreased
with 19 (10;28)% per 10% increase in %TIR (p=0.04), 18 (1;30)% per 10 mmol/mol decrease
in HbA1C (p=0.07), and 31% per 10 mmHg decrease in mean arterial
pressure (p<0.001).
Conclusion: In this longitudinal study, treatment-induced increase
in %TIR was significantly associated with decrease in albuminuria in T1D.
