Sleep Promoting Intervention to Improve Diabetes Outcomes and Executive Function in Adolescents With T1D
The goal of this work is to conduct a randomized trial evaluating the effects of a behavioral intervention to increase sleep duration and quality for adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D). The impact of the sleep-promoting intervention on executive function and glycemic outcomes will be assessed. We will also explore multiple components of the recently identified central nervous system glymphatic system and evaluate how these components change and impact brain integrity and function with improved sleep.
