First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether a sleep coaching program can help 150 teens (ages 11-17) with type 1 diabetes sleep longer and more consistently. Participants will receive either sleep coaching or standard diabetes education. Researchers will measure sleep with a Fitbit, check blood sugar control, and assess thinking skills. The goal is to see if improving sleep can lead to better diabetes management and brain function.
