The bidirectional relationship between sleep and blood glucose levels may particularly affect adolescents and young adults (AYA), who are more likely to experience less healthy glycemic outcomes and more disrupted sleep patterns. To date, few data exist describing the impact of intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring (isCGM) on habitual sleep patterns and sleep quality in AYA with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Objective. To evaluate the impact of 6-month use of isCGM on habitual sleep and wake timing, sleep duration, frequency, and duration of night-time awakenings, sleep efficiency, and perceived sleep quality in young people with T1D and HbA1c ≥ 75 mmol/mol. Participants. The study recruited 64 participants aged 13–20 years (mean 16.6 ± 2.1), 48% female, diabetes duration 7.5 ± 3.8 years, 41% Māori or Pasifika, and a mean HbA1c 96.0 ± 18.0 mmol/mol [10.9 ± 3.8%]; 33 were allocated to an isCGM plus self-monitoring blood glucose [SMBG] intervention, and 31 were allocated to the SMBG control group. Methods. Participants completed 7-day actigraphy measures and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index questionnaire at the baseline and at 6 months. Regression analyses were used to model between-group comparisons, adjusted for baseline sleep measures. Results. At 6 months, subjective measures for overall sleep quality, latency, duration, efficiency, night-time disturbances, use of sleep medications, and daytime dysfunction were similar between the groups. Regression analyses of actigraphy found no significant differences in objectively measured sleep timing and duration across the week after adjusting for age, the period of the school year, and baseline sleep values. Conclusions. The use of first-generation isCGM in addition to finger-prick testing did not impact objective or subjective sleep measures in AYA with T1D, elevated HbA1c, and highly variable sleep patterns. Research using alternative interventions for improving glycemic outcomes and habitual sleep-wake timing, duration, and perceived sleep quality is warranted in this population group.","PeriodicalId":19797,"journal":{"name":"Pediatric Diabetes","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2023-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45783314","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Managing glycemia around exercise is challenging for individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and their healthcare professionals (HCP). We investigated HCP knowledge and confidence around exercise counseling for youth with T1D worldwide. Objective. To assess HCP familiarity with ISPAD Clinical Practice Consensus Guidelines and confidence to deliver recommendations about T1D and exercise. Methods. A new online survey was developed on strategies and competencies about exercise for youth with T1D, comprising of 64 questions, divided into eight different categories, assessing HCPs perceived exercise knowledge, confidence, training, and barriers to exercise counseling. Results. A total of 125 HCPs mean ± SD age 42 ± 8.2 years (74% female, 73% physicians) completed the survey. The ISPAD exercise guidelines were considered familiar to 68/125 (54%) of responders. Overall, 91/125 (73%) felt confident with giving recommendations about exercise with 47/125 (38%) recommending 45–60 mins/day of physical activity, while 16/125 (13%) recommended >60 mins/day. Several topics related to self-management around exercise were covered by most, but not all responders, and differences were observed in exercise content “confidence” and/or “competence” based on geographic location (\u0000 \u0000 p\u0000 =\u0000 0.048\u0000 \u0000 ). No differences in exercise recommendation dose, confidence, or familiarity with ISPAD guidelines were observed for age, sex, type of HCP, years in practice, or healthcare type. Conclusions. Exercise counseling for youth with T1D remains a challenge in most healthcare settings, globally. In general, the number of physically active minutes per week is under-prescribed for youth with T1D and many HCPs in various settings around the world feel that more professional education is needed to boost confidence around the education of several exercise-related topics.","PeriodicalId":19797,"journal":{"name":"Pediatric Diabetes","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2023-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48493872","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Comorbid T1D and excess adiposity are associated with multiple serious negative health outcomes. Unfortunately, youth with T1D are often excluded from and/or not referred to standard behavioral lifestyle interventions. This is often attributed to the complexities of managing T1D and an effort not to overburden persons who have T1D. Furthermore, standard behavioral weight management intervention recommendations can be perceived as contradicting T1D disease management (e.g., removing sugar-sweetened beverages from diet, energy balance with exercise, and caloric restriction). A weight management intervention specifically designed for youth with T1D is needed to provide treatment to youth with comorbid T1D and overweight/obesity.
