About this study

Official title: The Effect of Sleep Extension on Glucose Metabolism in Women With Previous Diagnosis of Gestational Diabetes

Women with a history of gestational diabetes (GDM) are at high risk of developing diabetes in the future. Sleep disturbances are emerging as risk factors for incident diabetes. The purpose of this study is to test the effects of 6-week sleep extension in women with a history of GDM and short sleep on glucose metabolism by randomized controlled study.

Read the detailed description

The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of a sleep extension intervention in non-diabetic women with a prior history of GDM and habitual short sleep duration on the outcomes of glucose metabolism. The participants will be randomized to a 6-week sleep extension intervention group, using technology-assisted sleep intervention, or a healthy living information control group. Glucose metabolism parameters will be assessed by an oral glucose tolerant test.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Sleep extensionBehavioural

    Sleep extension aims to increase sleep duration for at least 30 minutes using weekly coaching

  • Healthy livingBehavioural

    Participants will receive weekly health education

What is being measured

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

  1. Changes in Fasting Glucose

    Changes in fasting glucose between baseline and 6 weeks

    Measured: 6 weeks

  2. Sleep Duration Change

    Changes in sleep duration from baseline to 6 weeks

    Measured: baseline and 6 weeks

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. HOMA-IR Change

    HOMA-IR change at week 0 to week 6. This is an index of fasting insulin resistance, and the higher reflects greater insulin resistance. Generally, a value greater than 2 is suggestive of insulin resistance

    Measured: baseline and 6 weeks

  2. Change in Subjective Sleep Quality

    Pittsburgh sleep quality index (range 0 to 21 with higher score reflecting worse sleep quality)

    Measured: Baseline and week 6
