Type 2 & other diabetes

Objective sleep characteristics and continuous glucose monitoring profiles of type 2 diabetes patients in real‐life settings

Diabetes Obes MetabPublished Observational study

Authors' conclusion

Objectively determined sleep duration and sleep midpoint, as well as their daily variability, are associated with CGM-derived glucose profiles in T2D patients.

Study context

Population
Patients with T2D (aged 62.3 ± 4.8 years, 57% women)
Participants
28 patients
Outcome
Association between objective sleep parameters (actigraphy) and CGM-derived glycaemic outcomes (glucose level, TIR, TAR)
Methodological detailsreal-life setting, actigraphy, continous glucose monitoring (CGM), 249 person-days of CGM, 221 nights of sleep characteristics
  • Real-life setting
  • Actigraphy
  • CGM
  • 249 person-days of CGM, 221 nights of sleep characteristics

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

Association of SD of objective sleep duration (minutes) between nights with overall CGM outcomes (linear regression)

Glucose level: coefficient (95% CI 0.004, 0.033), P = 0.017

0.018 mmol/L

Time in range (TIR) (% in observation period): coefficient (95% CI −0.36, −0.03), P = 0.023

−0.20%

Time above range (TAR): coefficient (95% CI 0.06, 0.39), P = 0.011

0.22%

Observational data: associations, not effects.

Further findings

Nightly sleep characteristics vs time-matched CGM outcomes (linear mixed models)

Later sleep midpoint (minutes from midnight) vs SD of glucose during same sleep period: coefficient (95% CI 0.0001, 0.003), P = 0.037
0.002 minutes
Longer nocturnal sleep duration vs CV of glucose in upcoming day (95% CI −0.03, −0.001), P = 0.041
−0.015%
