Improving Sleep and Reducing Sedentary Time in Adults with Type 2 Diabetes A 12-Week Study Using CBTi and Behavior Change Support

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating whether it is possible to improve sleep quality and reduce sedentary behavior in adults living with Type 2 diabetes who have sleep problems. This clinical feasibility trial aims to find out if objectively measured sleep and sedentary habits can be improved and what effects these changes may have on physical and physiological health markers. The study will compare outcomes between participants who receive a special talking therapy and behavior change support and those who receive usual care. Participants in the intervention group will receive counseling on improving sleep and reducing sedentary time through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia CBTi and behavior change techniques over a 12-week period. They will keep sleep diaries and attend regular meetings with a qualified coach. The control group will receive a leaflet about good sleep hygiene and the benefits of less sedentary behavior. Both groups will complete tests and questionnaires at the start and end of the 12 weeks. During the study, researchers will collect data using devices like accelerometers to measure sleep efficiency and physical activity, along with questionnaires on sleep quality, fatigue, mood, and quality of life. They will also monitor blood pressure, blood glucose, body composition, and cognitive function before and after the intervention period. The total participation involves assessments at baseline and after 12 weeks, allowing researchers to compare changes across several health and lifestyle measures.
