I have been on Tandem TSlim x2 and Dexcom G7 sensor for a few months. I have the Dexcom G7 and Clarity apps on my phone.
Their time in range numbers seem to always be off. Right now the Clarity app says my 7 day time in range is 71%. The Dexcom G7 app says 83%? Is it always that far apart?
Thanks
Ed

I’m not on Tandem but my first thought is, are you using the same ranges in both?

Ed @edmundo, as Dorie @wadawabbit suggests, look at the ranges you set in Clarity; the Dexcom phone app is locked in at 70-180 mg/dl range. Right now, comparing equal ranges, my phone app reads 94% 14 day TIR and the AGP on Clarity reads 95% - essentially the same because of “breakage” of the < 1& [less than 1%] on the app…
My basic Clarity ranges are nighttime 90-150 for 10 hours and daytime 14 hours 80-170 mg/dl. I have these narrower ranges programmed to allow a device warning so I cam take prophylactic action to avoid hypoglycemia.

Should have thought of that. The ranges are different which would explain different time in range. Thanks

Oh, my Clarity TIR with the modified ranges is 85% for the current two weeks compared with only 83% the prior two weeks. Similar to your in-range, @edmundo

Glad to help. Looking forward to your contributions on the forum. Stay cool if you can!
@edmundo As others have commented, it is paramount when discussing TIR that the discussion start with “What range is being considered as TIR?” My Endo presumes a TIR of 70-180, as do a LOT of people because that is the current "standard’’ addressed. However, I’ve changed my TIR on Clarity, Sugarmate, and other systems several times depending on who wants to see charts and my own personal goals. Currently, mine are set to 70-140 with approx an 80-85% TIR. I started with the 70-180 because I didn’t know better and wanted to please myself and my doc. I’ve continually lowered the high level over time based on recommendations by JuiceBox’s Scott, TCOYD’s Steve Edelman…because I want the control and I absolutly “hate” alarms going off all the time. When I’m sick or going in for medical procedure, I’ll usually raise it to avoid the alarms recognizing my control will likely suffer, but once out of that environment, back it goes.
