Subjects aged 12-20 2. Diagnosed with type 2 diabetes without pancreatic autoimmunity Exclusion Criteria: Aim 1 for child: 1.

Subjects with known hyperthyroidism, pain syndrome, or serious medical condition that can affect sleep. 8. Subjects with hemoglobinopathies that affect hemoglobin A1c measurement. 9. Unable to obtain point-of-care hemoglobin A1c in clinic on date of recruitment 10. Known diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea or other sleep disorder Aim 1 for Parent: 1.
