Diabetes Self-Management Education with Sleep Hygiene

Diabetes Self-Management Education with Sleep Hygiene

This study will test whether adding sleep hygiene education and support to diabetes self-management education and support (DSMES) in diverse patients (African American, Hispanic, Pacific Islander, and Caucasian) with type 2 diabetes myelitis (T2DM) from rural UAMS Regional Programs clinics is more effective than DSMES alone. The specific aims for this study are:

• Aim 1A (Primary): Determine if this model improves blood glucose levels as measured by the HbA1c test in diverse adults with T2DM.
• Aim 1B: Determine the preliminary effectiveness of DSMES+SHES on sleep duration and sleep quality, blood pressure, fasting lipids, body mass index (BMI), self-management behavior, self-efficacy, diabetes-related distress, and diabetes-related quality of life in diverse adults with T2DM.
• Aim 2A: Determine the feasibility and acceptability of DSMES+ SHES when implemented with diverse adults with T2DM.
• Aim 2B: Determine the feasibility and acceptability of DSMES+ SHES implementation in Regional Programs clinics.

Inclusion Criteria:

• 18 years of age or older
• Diagnosed with type 2 diabetes
• Speak English

Exclusion Criteria:

• Received DSME in the past three years
• Have a condition that makes it unlikely they will be able to follow the protocol
