Meeting time in range and time below range targets is not associated with psychological outcomes in type 1 or insulin-treated type 2 diabetes in the Hypo-METRICS study
Meeting the composite target of time in range (TIR) >70% and time below range (TBR) <4% was not associated with differences in diabetes distress, fear of hypoglycaemia, depression, or anxiety in participants with type 1 (T1D) or insulin-treated type 2 diabetes (T2D) in the Hypo-METRICS study. >50% of all participants reported moderate-to-high diabetes distress, highlighting the need for routine screening.
