Who could benefit from this research

Could help

Ideal candidates for this research are young adults aged 18-30 with type 1 diabetes who have not been able to achieve glycemic targets.

Less likely to help

Patients who are not diagnosed with type 1 diabetes or those who already meet their glycemic targets may not benefit from this research.

What this research studies

This research investigates how a cognitive-behavioral sleep self-management program can help young adults aged 18-30 with type 1 diabetes improve their sleep patterns. The program aims to increase sleep duration and regularity over a period of three months, which may lead to better blood sugar control and overall health. Participants will be enrolled in a trial comparing this intervention to standard care, allowing researchers to assess its effectiveness in achieving glycemic targets. The study will involve 248 young adults who struggle to meet their diabetes management goals.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved blood sugar control and overall health for young adults with type 1 diabetes.

How similar studies have gone: Previous research has shown that cognitive-behavioral approaches to sleep management can be effective, suggesting potential success for this intervention.
