Read our Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1 research guide →Researchers want to understand how your body's natural sleep-wake cycle — called your chronotype — affects how well your diabetes is controlled. This study will look at the connection between when you naturally sleep, how long you sleep, and your blood sugar levels. By studying these patterns in people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes, scientists hope to find new ways to help manage diabetes more effectively.
Recent research suggests that sleep patterns and your body's internal clock play an important role in blood sugar control and diabetes management. However, many people don't realize how much sleep affects their health. This study aims to fill that gap by examining whether adjusting sleep habits could be a helpful part of diabetes care.

This is an observational study, meaning researchers will track your sleep patterns and blood sugar control rather than test a new medication. You would likely complete surveys about your sleep habits, allow researchers to access your diabetes and health records, and possibly wear devices to monitor your sleep and activity. The study is still recruiting participants, so the exact schedule and procedures will be explained when you contact them.
