LS is 72 years old with type 2 diabetes and injects insulin 4 times a day. They were started on a CGM device last month and you are looking at the Ambulatory Glucose Profile (AGP) together. You notice their time in range is 60%, their time above range is 38%, in low range is 2% and their coefficient of variation is less than 36%.

- Time in range should be 70% or greater for your age group.
- This information is going to help with problem solving.
