AI Article Synopsis
- A study focused on young patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) explored the relationships between diet quality, sleep duration, and sleep quality, and how these factors relate to blood sugar levels measured using flash glucose monitoring (FGM).
- Researchers used wearable devices and questionnaires to assess sleep and diet, finding that most participants had high blood sugar levels (HbA1c), good sleep quality, and good adherence to a Mediterranean diet, but only a third achieved healthy sleep duration.
- The results showed a significant link between sleep latency and glycemia levels, alongside a positive correlation between diet quality and blood sugar control, suggesting that diet and sleep are important factors in managing diabetes in young patients.
Article Abstract
Background: We examined the inter-correlation between diet quality, objectively measured sleep duration, and subjectively measured sleep quality with flash glucose monitoring (FGM)-measured glycemia among young patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D).
Materials And Methods: Following cross-sectional design, Fitbit accelerometers were used to objectively assess sleep duration, while the validated questionnaires Pittsburgh sleep quality index and Mediterranean diet (MD) adherence were used to subjectively assess sleep quality and diet quality, respectively. Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and FGM-reported glycemia components among children with T1D were assessed as well.
Results: Of the 47 participants surveyed (25 boys, 22 girls, 9.31 ± 2.88 years), the majority reported high HbA1c, good sleep quality, and high adherence to the MD. However, only one-third of the participants reported a healthy sleep duration. Only the sleep latency was significantly ( < 0.05) associated with the time above range level 2 and time below range level 2 ( = 0.048) components of the FGM. A positive correlation ( = 0.309, = 0.035) was reported between adherence to MD and time in range of the FGM.
Conclusions: Diet quality and sleep quality are variably inter-correlated with FGM-measured glycemia among young patients with T1D and are suggested to be considered influential factors in FGM-monitored diabetes research on this age group.
