Abstract
PURPOSE: The primary purpose of this descriptive cross-sectional study was to examine the associations between sleep-wake characteristics (total sleep time, sleep variability, sleep onset latency, and sleep efficiency), distress symptoms (general and diabetes), and diabetes physical symptoms in young adults ages 18 to 30 years with type 1 diabetes (T1D). The secondary purpose was to determine whether biological sex, body mass index (BMI), and T1D duration (covariates) influence the relationships among the study variables. METHODS: Forty-six young adults with T1D, recruited from diabetes clinics from December 2018 to February 2020, wore a wrist actigraph and continuous glucose monitor concurrently for 6 to 14 days and completed the PROMIS Emotional Distress Scale, Diabetes Distress Scale, and Diabetes Symptom Checklist-Revised. RESULTS: Shorter total sleep time and poorer sleep efficiency were associated with higher diabetes emotional distress symptoms. Higher sleep variability was associated with higher neurological pain symptoms. A longer sleep onset latency was associated with higher symptoms of diabetes distress, including psychological, cognitive, hyperglycemia, and a higher total symptom burden. Associations remained statistically significant after adjusting for biological sex and BMI, with the exception of sleep onset latency and total symptom burden. CONCLUSIONS: Poorer objective sleep-wake characteristics were associated with higher diabetes symptoms even after considering biological sex and BMI among young adults with T1D.
