Diabetes Sleep Treatment Trial (DSTT) – Good Sleeper Comparison Group

STUDY BASICS

Do you have type 2 diabetes and consider yourself a good sleeper? If so, you may be eligible to participate in a research study to help learn about the effect of diabetes self-management and glucose control in people with good sleep compared to people with insomnia. Compensation provided.

STUDY PURPOSE

Many people who have type 2 diabetes also have insomnia, a condition that involves trouble falling asleep or staying asleep. The purpose of this study is to help researchers learn about the effect of diabetes self-management and glucose control in people who are good sleepers compared to people who have insomnia. Researchers hope their findings will lead to better ways to help people with diabetes and insomnia in the future.
