- Original description
The goal of this work is to conduct a randomized trial evaluating the effects of a behavioral intervention to increase sleep duration and quality for adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D). The impact of the sleep-promoting intervention on executive function and glycemic outcomes will be assessed. We will also explore multiple components of the recently identified central nervous system glymphatic system and evaluate how these components change and impact brain integrity and function with improved sleep.Read full original descriptionShow less
Sleep Promoting Intervention to Improve Diabetes Outcomes and Executive Function in Adolescents With T1D
The goal of this work is to conduct a randomized trial evaluating the effects of a behavioral intervention to increase sleep duration and quality for adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D). The impact of the sleep-promoting intervention on executive function and glycemic outcomes will be assessed. We will also explore multiple components of the recently identified central nervous system glymphatic system and evaluate how these components change and impact brain integrity and function with improved sleep.
Inclusion: 11-17 years of age at the time of enrollment; Diagnosed with type 1 diabetes for ≥ 12 months; Report insufficient sleep (< 8 hrs./night for 13-17 year-olds, <9 hrs./night for 11-12 year-olds) but have no other sleep disorders or sleep apnea; Are not meeting the target for HbA1c (<7%); Able to read /speak English; Currently living with the child (at least 50% of the time); Speak and read English.
Exclusion: Optional MRI portion of the study - anything that would prevent an adolescent from receiving a high-quality MRI of the brain (metal implants or inability to hold still for an MRI which may take up to 60 minutes); Participant has other serious health conditions that interfere with diabetes management.
