How an Hour-by-Hour View Transforms Time in Range Insights

Time in Range by Hour

A new way to view CGM data that focuses on patterns, not perfection.

Abstract

This post explores how visualizing glucose data by the hour—rather than by day—can reveal clearer, more supportive insights into blood sugar patterns. By focusing on when changes occur, not just how much, this approach promotes understanding, reduces anxiety, and encourages progress over perfection.

Key Points

  • Hourly View Adds Clarity: Highlights when glucose shifts happen, such as after meals or overnight.
  • Flexible Range Options: Lets users switch between 70–180 mg/dL and 70–140 mg/dL views.
  • Supportive Visual Design: Uses a green-blue color scale to promote curiosity, not judgment.
  • Encourages Reflection: Focuses on patterns that can inform better self-care, without pressure.
  • Personal Insight: Shows how understanding post-meal spikes led to more confidence and fewer surprises.
  • Interactive Visualization Available: Readers can explore their own patterns using the linked CGM chart.

How Tirzepatide is Revolutionizing Type 2 Diabetes Prevention in Overweight and Obese Adults

Summary

Eli Lilly’s tirzepatide has shown remarkable potential in reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes by 94% in overweight and obese adults, according to new data from the SURMOUNT-1 study. This breakthrough not only highlights tirzepatide's effectiveness in diabetes prevention but also its significant impact on weight loss.

Key Points

  • 94% Risk Reduction: Tirzepatide reduces the risk of developing type 2 diabetes by 94% in adults with obesity or overweight.
  • Significant Weight Loss: Participants experienced an average weight reduction of 22.9% with the highest dose.
  • Dual Mechanism: Tirzepatide works by activating both GIP and GLP-1 receptors, regulating appetite and improving insulin sensitivity.
  • Long-Term Study: The SURMOUNT-1 study is the longest trial of its kind, lasting 176 weeks.
  • Broader Implications: This drug could reshape strategies for managing obesity and preventing type 2 diabetes on a global scale.

Abstract

Pharmaceutical leaders Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk are making significant investments to expand their manufacturing capacities for GLP-1 drugs, which are crucial for diabetes and obesity treatments. Eli Lilly is dedicating an additional $5.3 billion to its Indiana site, aiming to address current drug shortages and enhance production of tirzepatide (marketed as Mounjaro and Zepbound). Concurrently, Novo Nordisk is investing $4.1 billion in its North Carolina facility to boost the production of injectable treatments. These efforts highlight the companies' commitment to meeting the growing global demand for these essential medications and ensuring a stable supply chain.

Key Points

  • Eli Lilly's Investment: An additional $5.3 billion is being invested in the Lebanon, Indiana site to produce active pharmaceutical ingredients for tirzepatide (Mounjaro and Zepbound).
  • Novo Nordisk's Expansion: A $4.1 billion investment is directed towards the Clayton, North Carolina facility to increase production of diabetes and obesity treatments.
  • Economic Impact: Eli Lilly's investment will create 200 full-time jobs and over 5,000 construction jobs, contributing to economic growth in Indiana.
  • Sustainable Practices: Novo Nordisk aims for LEED Gold certification for its facility, incorporating state-of-the-art technology and sustainable practices.
  • Addressing Drug Shortages: Both companies are focused on alleviating current shortages and ensuring a more stable supply chain for GLP-1 drugs.
