Interplay among sleep quality, dinner timing, and blood glucose control in users of advanced technologies: A study in a cohort of adults with type 1 diabetes

Diabetes Res Clin PractPublished Cross-sectional study

Authors' conclusion

The rate of hypoglycemia and dinner timing are key factors affecting both sleep quality and glycemic control in adults with T1D. Addressing lifestyle habits, including dinner timing and fear of hypoglycemia, may still be needed in users of AID.

Study context

Population
Adults with T1D on AID or CSII insulin delivery systemsAID 122, CSII 67 · Adults with T1D on AID 122 · or CSII 67
Exposure
Bad-sleepers vs Good-sleepers; Late-eaters vs Early-eaters
Outcome
Two-week CGM metrics by sleep quality

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

TBR70-54, Bad-sleepers vs Good-sleepers

2.1 ± 2.0 vs. 1.3 ± 1.2 %

TBR54, Bad-sleepers vs Good-sleepers

0.7 ± 1.0 vs. 0.2 ± 0.4 %

CV, Bad-sleepers vs Good-sleepers

34.4 ± 5.3 vs. 31.8 ± 5.2 %

Observational data: associations, not effects.

Further findings

OutcomeP value
HbA1c and CGM metrics by dinner timingLate-eaters vs Early-eatersP < 0.05 for all
  • HbA1c and CGM metrics by dinner timing: Higher HbA1c, lower TBR70-54; after dinner higher TAR180-250 and lower TIR70-180 with Late-eaters, particularly among AID users

Multiple regression

Dinner time was a main predictor of HbA1c
TBR54 was a main predictor of sleep quality
