Sleep Coach for Adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes

This study is looking at whether a "Sleep Coach" program can help teenagers (ages 11-17) with type 1 diabetes sleep better. The Sleep Coach program involves four phone sessions to improve how long and how consistently you sleep. Participants will also receive general diabetes education. Researchers want to see if better sleep helps with blood sugar control and brain functions like planning and problem-solving. You might be able to join if you have had type 1 diabetes for at least a year, don't get enough sleep, have an HbA1c (a measure of average blood sugar) that's not at target (below 7%), and can speak English. The study aims to enroll 150 participants. The study status is unclear.

Study design
This is a randomized controlled trial, meaning participants will be randomly assigned to either the Sleep Coach group or a group receiving standard diabetes education. The study plans to enroll 150 adolescents.
What's involved
You would complete surveys and brain function tests at the start, and then again at 3, 6, and 12 months. You would also wear a FitBit watch and complete sleep diaries at the beginning and at 3 months. If in the Sleep Coach group, you would have 4 phone sessions.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Participants will be followed for 12 months after starting the study.
