I have been trying to pay attention to TIR and the Daily Patterns. From my limited understanding, TIR is actually getting promoted above hbA1c in many circles as a better indication of control. The Daily Patterns metric has helped me tweak my diet/exercise plan because I have identified some odd spikes at certain times of the day. For example, my BG seems to rise steadily prandial or not, between the hours of 8-10 a.m. That pattern seems to have diminished some, at least over the last few weeks. So, overall, the CGM has benefited me tremendously so far.
