Closed-Loop Therapy and Sleep in Young People Newly Diagnosed With Type 1 Diabetes and Their Parents

J Diabetes Sci TechnolPublished Secondary analysis of a randomised controlled trial

Authors' conclusion

This study assessed for the first time sleep in young people using a closed-loop system soon after diagnosis. Although sleep was not significantly different for young people using closed-loop insulin delivery as compared with those receiving standard care, the direction of effects of the nonsignificant results indicates a possible tendency for better sleep quality in the hybrid closed-loop insulin delivery group at the beginning of the treatment.

Primary result

As reported in the abstract

Sleep in young people
  • Sleep did not differ significantly with hybrid closed-loop vs standard care (nonsignificant trends for better sleep with closed-loop for 4 of 5 actigraphy measures and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI))
