What this claim means

In Japanese adults with type 1 diabetes, red blood cells live for about 74 days on average—ranging from 56 to 120 days—when measured using a special model that tracks blood sugar changes over time.

See the technical phrasing

In Japanese adults with type 1 diabetes who exhibit sufficient glucose variability, the median red blood cell lifespan is 74 days, with a range of 56 to 120 days, as estimated using a personalized kinetic model based on continuous glucose monitoring data.
