Poor sleep quality is associated with nocturnal glycaemic variability and fear of hypoglycaemia in adults with type 1 diabetes.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

To examine sleep quality and its associations with glycaemic control, glycaemic variability (GV), and fear of hypoglycaemia (FOH) in adults with type 1 diabetes.

Background

Poor sleep quality has negative health consequences and is a frequent complaint among adults with type 1 diabetes. Sleep quality in adults with type 1 diabetes is likely affected by glucose levels as well as stressors associated with managing a chronic condition.

Design

A retrospective secondary analysis of pooled data from two previous cross-sectional studies was conducted.

Methods

We examined subjective sleep quality, FOH; objective measures of glycaemic control (HbA1c); and GV (3-day continuous glucose monitoring) in 48 men and women aged 18-45 years with type 1 diabetes. The data we
