Associations Between Objective Sleep Behaviors and Blood Glucose Variability in Young Children With Type 1 Diabetes.

CONCLUSIONS: Most young children with T1D did not meet sleep recommendations. Young children experienced more nighttime awakenings, higher blood glucose, and increased glycemic variability on weekends only, when routines may be less predictable. Findings suggest that one way families of young children with T1D may be able to decrease glycemic variability is to keep consistent routines on weekdays and weekends.
