Fear of hypoglycaemia and parent sleep disturbance in families of young children with type 1 diabetes
Authors' conclusion
FH, particularly worry-driven FH, independently contributes to parent sleep disturbance in families of very young children with T1D.
Study context
- Population
- Parents of children aged 2–7 years with T1D
- Participants
- 180 parents
- Outcome
- Fear of hypoglycaemia (FH) and parent sleep disturbance (PROMIS-S)
- Follow-up
- Baseline
Methodological detailsbaseline (pretreatment) data from a multisite randomized clinical trial
- Baseline (pretreatment) data from a multisite randomized clinical trial
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
