Sleep habits in adolescents with type 1 diabetes: Variability in sleep duration linked with glycemic control
Pediatric Diabetes May 22, 2018
Patel NJ, et al. - Using multiple methods, the researchers described adolescents’ sleep on school and weekend nights as well as investigated the connections between sleep variability, quality, and duration with diabetes indicators. For this analysis, adolescents with type 1 diabetes wore an actigraph and kept daily diaries recording sleep, activities, and blood glucose monitoring (BGM) habits for at least 7 days. They observed that few adolescents with type 1 diabetes met recommendations for sleep duration, and many reported poor sleep quality. Significant associations were identified between variability in sleep duration with poorer glycemic control and less frequent BGM, supporting the need to consider sleep patterns as a modifiable factor that could affect adherence and glycemic control.
