Read our Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2 research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I)—a structured, non-medication approach to improving sleep—can help older adults with type 2 diabetes control their blood sugar better. Sleep problems are very common in older people, and poor sleep can make diabetes harder to manage. The study compares this sleep therapy program to standard diabetes education to see which approach works better.
Many older adults with diabetes also struggle with insomnia, and doctors are concerned that sleep medications used to treat insomnia may actually worsen blood sugar control. This study looks for a safer, non-medication alternative that might improve both sleep and diabetes management at the same time.

If you join this study, you will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group will attend six weekly two-hour sessions of structured sleep therapy delivered in small groups over six weeks. The other group will attend six weekly two-hour sessions of general diabetes and health education. Either way, you will be meeting with other participants and a trained instructor for the same amount of time, with the main difference being the focus and content of what you learn.
