Brief report: Sleep disturbances in young children with type 1 diabetes

Sarah S Jaser et al. Diabetes Res Clin Pract. 2016 Oct.

Abstract

This multi-method study, including actigraphy, sleep diaries, and questionnaires, indicated significant sleep disturbances in young children with type 1 diabetes (age 3-5) and insufficient sleep duration in children and their parents. Results provide initial support for sleep as a potential target to improve both diabetes outcomes and parental distress.

Keywords: Parenting; Psychological stress; Sleep; Type 1 diabetes mellitus.
