- Original description
The goal of this clinical feasibility trial is to learn whether the investigators can improve sleep and reduce sedentary behaviour in people living with Type 2 diabetes mellitus with sleep problems. The main questions it aims to answer are: • question 1, can objectively measured sleep and sedentary behaviour be improved in the participants and • question 2, what effect will this have on a number of physical and physiological markers. Participants in the intervention group will be asked to keep sleep diaries and attend regular meetings with a qualified coach who will use a specific talking therapy to try to improve sleep and with use behaviour change techniques to help them be less sedentary. Researchers will compare the control group to the intervention group to see if effects differ between groups.Read full original descriptionShow less
