LID - 10.1007/s12020-024-03787-3 [doi] AB - AIM: To understand the association between macronutrient composition of a diet with Time in Range (TIR), Time above Range (TAR) and Time below Range (TBR) derived using a Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) device for 14 days. METHODOLOGY: An exploratory analysis on the baseline data of 50 Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus participants with age 25-55 years, HbA1c upto 8% and on Metformin only) enrolled for an interventional clinical trial was performed. RESULTS: Participants consuming adequate carbohydrates (CHO) of 55 to 60% of total calories had better Average Blood Glucose of 142.0 +/- 24.0 mg/dL with a significance of p = 0.03 and Glucose Management Indicator (GMI) of 6.6 +/- 0.7% significant at p = 0.01, than those with high CHO intake >60% of the total calories, with Average Blood Glucose - 155.0 +/- 13.4 mg/dL and GMI - 7.06 +/- 0.4%. Similarly, TIR - 68.2 +/- 5.1% and TAR - 23.0 +/- 10.8% was significantly better (p = 0.00) among those consuming adequate protein (12-15%) as compared to low protein (
