About this study

Official title: Sleep Coach: Sleep Promotion to Improve Diabetes Management in Adolescents With T1D

Adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D) are at increased risk for problems with adherence and suboptimal glycemic control, and novel approaches are needed to improve outcomes in this high-risk population. The majority of adolescents obtain insufficient sleep (defined as <8 hours/night), and sleep disturbance has been significantly associated with poorer adherence and predicted greater problems with quality of life and worse glycemic control. Yet, no interventions have addressed sleep in youth with T1D. Working from a biopsychosocial and contextual model of sleep, the investigators propose to tailor a sleep-promoting intervention to meet the needs of adolescents with T1D by conducting interviews with to identify the barriers and facilitators to adequate sleep specific to this population. The sleep-promoting intervention will be developed and tested, building on successful sleep interventions in other populations, including components such as limiting caffeine, establishing a media curfew, and positive bedtime routines, while addressing the needs unique to adolescents with T1D, such as fear of hypoglycemia. The study will be conducted by a multidisciplinary team, consisting of Sarah Jaser, PhD, a pediatric psychologist, and two co-investigators, Beth Malow, MD, MS, a neurologist with specialty in sleep medicine, and Jill Simmons, MD, a pediatric endocrinologist. Sleep is a potentially modifiable risk factor that may have both a physiological and behavioral impact on diabetes outcomes. Given the strong associations between sleep and diabetes outcomes in the preliminary data, and recent evidence from sleep restriction studies indicating the impact of insufficient sleep on insulin sensitivity, behavior, and mood, there is reason to believe that a sleep-promoting intervention has the potential to improve outcomes in adolescents with T1D indirectly by improving adherence and directly through its effect on metabolic function. Therefore, the proposed study offers a novel approach to improve adherence, quality of life, and glycemic control in adolescents with T1D.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Sleep Quality: Baseline

    Sleep quality will be measured with the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index total score. Each of the sleep components yields a score ranging from 0 to 3, with 3 indicating the greatest dysfunction. The sleep component scores are summed to yield a total score ranging from 0 to 21 with the higher total score (referred to as global score) indicating worse sleep quality.

    Measured: baseline

  2. Sleep Quality 3 Months

    Sleep quality will be measured with the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index total score. Each of the sleep components yields a score ranging from 0 to 3, with 3 indicating the greatest dysfunction. The sleep component scores are summed to yield a total score ranging from 0 to 21 with the higher total score (referred to as global score) indicating worse sleep quality.

    Measured: 3 months

  3. Glycemic Control (HbA1c) Baseline

    HbA1C is a measure of average blood glucose levels. It is measured quarterly at regular clinic visits.

    Measured: Baseline

  4. Glycemic Control (HbA1c) 3 or 6 Months

    HbA1C is a measure of average blood glucose levels. It is measured quarterly at regular clinic visits.

    Measured: 3 months or 6 months

  5. Sleep Duration: Baseline

    Sleep duration will be measured with actigraphy (total sleep time)

    Measured: baseline

  6. Sleep Duration: 3 Months

    Sleep duration will be measured with actigraphy (total sleep time)

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Quality of Life (PedsQL)

    The PedsQL, Type 1 Diabetes module, a self-report measure of quality of life will be used. Scaled scores range from 0-100, and higher scores indicate better quality of life.

    Measured: Baseline and 3 months

  2. Adherence (Self Care Inventory) Parent

    The parent versions of the Self Care Inventory will be used to measure adherence to the diabetes treatment regimen. Mean scores are calculated, ranging from 1-5, with higher scores indicating better adherence.

    Measured: Baseline and 3 months

  3. Adherence (Self Care Inventory) Teen

    The teen versions of the Self Care Inventory will be used to measure adherence to the diabetes treatment regimen. Mean scores are calculated, ranging from 1-5, with higher scores indicating better adherence.

    Measured: Baseline and 3 months

What does the primary outcome measure?

Sleep Quality: Baseline (time frame: baseline). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
