Time in range while on a GLP-1
Time in range often improves on a GLP-1 even before weight changes much: here's how to read it.
In short: Watch the share of readings in your target band climb as doses build.
Time in range is the percentage of your glucose readings that land inside your target band: commonly 70–180 mg/dL (3.9–10 mmol/L). It captures day-to-day control in a way an average can hide, and it often responds to a GLP-1 sooner than the scale does, because gentler after-meal spikes show up reading by reading.
If you check a few times a day, look at time in range over a week or two rather than reacting to single numbers. A common goal is more than 70% of readings in range with very little time low, but your own target is a conversation for you and your clinician.
Pairing time in range with your weight and dose makes the trend legible: as the dose builds, you'd expect the in-range share to hold or rise while the average drifts down. That's the picture SteadyRange is designed to show.
