Sleep and Type 1 Diabetes

Sleep and Glycemic Control in Type 1 Diabetic Children

The primary goal of the study is to determine whether insufficient sleep is associated with poor glycemic control in type 1 diabetic children. Secondary goals aim to determine whether salivary amylase could be an easily accessible and non-invasive biomarker of sleep loss and somnolence, and whether insufficient sleep is linked to body composition. Sleep characteristics, glycemic control, salivary amylase and body composition will be assessed 3 times, at 3-4 months intervals, in 82 type 1 diabetic children.

Inclusion Criteria:

Exclusion Criteria:

• Refusal of consent of the parents or the child or the adolescent
