Summary

This study tests whether cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBTi) can improve sleep, blood sugar levels, and quality of life in adults with type 1 diabetes. Fifteen participants will either receive 8 virtual CBTi sessions or health education emails and calls over 12 weeks. Researchers will measure sleep quality, glucose control, and how acceptable the therapy is.

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a non-drug way to improve sleep and blood sugar control in people with type 1 diabetes.

What could go wrong

This is a very small early-phase trial with only 15 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It also relies on self-reported sleep and may not show clear benefits.
