In advance of World Diabetes Day (WDD) 2021, Dexcom helped launch The Global Movement for Time in Range in partnership with leading not-for-profits in the diabetes community, including Beyond Type 1, JDRF, TCOYD, College Diabetes Network, and Children with Diabetes.
‘Time in range’ is the percentage of time spent by a patient with glucose levels in their target range. The global initiative focuses on educating people with diabetes about the importance of time in range and how proper use of the metric can help improve glucose management.
These efforts have been supported by thousands of Dexcom Warriors, people with diabetes and their loved ones across the globe including celebrities Nick Jonas and Patti LaBelle who have opened up about their journey with diabetes on social media.
Many people with diabetes are still unaware of modern diabetes metrics, such as time in range. This campaign aims to change that.
