Abstract Body

Sleep is a potentially modifiable risk or protective factor for diabetes-related outcomes that has recently gained interest. In addition, new diabetes technology and devices have the potential to both disrupt sleep (with alarms) and improve sleep (through reduced glycemic variability overnight). This session will highlight recent findings from studies of sleep in type 1 diabetes (T1D), with a focus on the role of sleep in self-management, diabetes-specific sleep disturbances, and the potentially modifiable aspects of sleep, as well as emerging evidence from studies of sleep-promoting interventions to improve outcomes in youth with T1D and their caregivers.
