About this study

Official title: Insomnia and Type 2 Diabetes: Measurement, Impact and Intervention

Insomnia is a common sleep disorder, with three main symptoms: difficulty in initiating sleep, difficulty in maintaining sleep, and/or waking up early without ability to return to sleep. Insomnia can contribute to metabolic dysfunction, which can lead to type 2 diabetes (T2D). Diabetes self-care behavior (DSCB) is important in attaining and maintaining glycemic control, which worsens as a result of fatigue. People with insomnia usually suffer from fatigue and inconstant sleep schedule, which negatively influence quality of life. However, the additive effect of behavioral sleep intervention on diabetes outcomes and health status in people with T2D is unknown. Therefore, The overall purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of both insomnia symptoms and CBT-I on people with T2D. The central hypotheses are that people with T2D and insomnia symptoms will have worse sleep, diabetes measures and self-reported outcomes compared to people with T2D only, which might be adjusted with CBT-I.

Insomnia is a common sleep disorder, with three main symptoms: difficulty in initiating sleep, difficulty in maintaining sleep, and/or waking up early without ability to return to sleep. Insomnia can contribute to metabolic dysfunction, which can lead to type 2 diabetes (T2D). Diabetes self-care behavior (DSCB) is important in attaining and maintaining glycemic control, which worsens as a result of fatigue. People with insomnia usually suffer from fatigue, which negatively influences quality of life. However, the additive effect of insomnia symptoms on diabetes outcomes and health status in people with T2D is unknown. Therefore, it is imperative to investigate the contributing factor that affects DSCB and health outcomes to help individuals with diabetes reach their goals.

Assessing sleep variability is very important clinically and practically for people with insomnia. People with insomnia have higher night to night sleep variability compared to healthy individuals. Compared to other populations, people with T2D might suffer from sleep disturbances due to diabetes symptoms such as frequency nocturnal urination, hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, obesity, pain and fatigue, which might influence the sleep variability. The nature of insomnia is not representable by using mean values, as the reduction in the sleep variability values is a predictor for insomnia and depression recovery. Therefore, understanding the sleep variability in people with T2D with or without insomnia symptoms may add complementary evidence for future studies.

An effective treatment for people with insomnia is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I). CBT-I is superior to sleep medications in terms of cost and long term benefits. Although there is currently limited evidence about the effect of CBT-I on people with T2D, CBT-I is a potentially effective intervention given insomnia's relationship with glucose metabolism. The overall purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of both insomnia symptoms and CBT-I on people with T2D. The central hypotheses are that people with T2D and insomnia symptoms will have worse sleep, diabetes measures and self-reported outcomes compared to people with T2D only, which might be adjusted with CBT-I.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Insomnia Severity Index

    The Insomnia Severity Index is a self-report measure designed to evaluate the nature, severity, and impact of insomnia.Seven-items assess severity of sleep onset, sleep maintenance, early morning awakening problems, sleep dissatisfaction, interference of sleep difficulties with daytime functioning, noticeability of sleep problems by others, and distress due to the sleep difficulties.This is self-reported seven items on a five-point Likert scale from zero (not at all satisfied) to four (very much satisfied). Total scores range from 0 to 28, with higher scores indicating greater insomnia severity.

    Measured: Insomnia severity will be assessed at the baseline and 8 weeks.

    Diabetes care profile is a validated instrument that measures self-reported diabetes control, psychological and social factors including Control Problems, Social and Personal Factors, Negative Attitude, Positive Attitude, Self-Care Adherence, and Diet Adherence. Each item on the Diabetes Care Profile is rated on 1 to 5 scales to evaluate the frequency of symptoms. Control Problems, Social and Personal Factors, and Negative Attitude are rated on a scale where 1 is good and 5 is poor; Positive Attitude, Self-Care Adherence, and Diet Adherence are rated on a scale where 5 is good and 1 is poor.

    The Epworth Sleepiness Scale will be utilized to evaluate the daytime sleepiness and subjectively investigate the likelihood of unintentionally falling asleep or increased difficulty in staying awake . It encompasses 8 items where the subjects rate how likely they would be to fall asleep in 8 different states of daily activities. A 4-point Likert scale ranging between 0 "never doze" and 3 "high chance of dozing". Total score will be used, which ranges from 0 to 24.

    Measured: Daytime sleepiness will be assessed at the baseline and 8 weeks.

  13. Change in The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index Global Score

    The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index is a validated 19-item questionnaire, and it differentiates between poor sleepers and good sleepers. it is derived from 7 items including perceived sleep quality, sleep latency, sleep duration, sleep efficiency, sleep disturbances, use of sleep medication, and daytime dysfunction. These items are separately scored from 0-3, with 3 representing the negative extreme, and summed to provide a global score. The total score of Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index will be used, which ranges from 0 to 21. Higher scores indicate poor sleep quality.

    Measured: Sleep quality will be assessed at the baseline and 8 weeks.

  14. Change in Random Glucose Level

    Glucose meter will be utilized to assess the glucose level.

    Measured: Random glucose level will be assessed at the baseline and 8 weeks.
