Sleep apnea may worsen blood sugar swings in type 1 diabetes
NCT ID NCT06915831
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how sleep apnea (pauses in breathing during sleep) affects blood sugar levels in adults with type 1 diabetes. Researchers will track blood sugar patterns using continuous glucose monitors in 40 participants. The goal is to understand the link between sleep apnea and blood sugar control, which could lead to better management strategies.
