- Registration Number
- NCT06471634
- Lead Sponsor
- University of Leicester
- Brief Summary
The goal of this clinical feasibility trial is to learn whether the investigators can improve sleep and reduce sedentary behaviour in people living with Type 2 diabetes mellitus with sleep problems. The main questions it aims to answer are: • question 1, can objectively measured sleep and sedentary behaviour be improved in the participants and • question 2, what effect will this have on a number of physical and physiological markers. Participants in the intervention group will be asked to keep sleep diaries and attend regular meetings with a qualified coach who will use a specific talking therapy to try to improve sleep and with use behaviour change techniques to help them be less sedentary. Researchers will compare the control group to the intervention group to see if effects differ between groups.

Group Intervention Description CBTi and Sedentary Behaviour support CBTi Participants will be counselled in how to improve their sleep and decrease sedentary behaviour using CBTi and behaviour change techniques. CBTi and Sedentary Behaviour support Sedentary behaviour reduction Participants will be counselled in how to improve their sleep and decrease sedentary behaviour using CBTi and behaviour change techniques. Control - usual care Control - usual care Participants will be given a leaflet containing brief information on good sleep hygiene practice and the benefits of decreasing sedentary behaviour.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Sleep Efficiency (SE) measured using accelerometer data. Before and after the 12 week intervention/intervention period The primary outcome measure is change in objectively measured SE in the intervention arm compared to the control group.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Continuous blood glucose Before and after the 12 week intervention/intervention period Continuous blood glucose measured via a continuous glucose monitor and in Mmol/L (Mmol/L)
Objectively measured sleep - wake after sleep onset Before and after the 12 week intervention/intervention period Accelerometer data will be used to measure wake after sleep onset in minutes.
Measurement of fatigue Before and after the 12 week intervention/intervention period The Functional assessment of chronic illness therapy (FACIT) scale will be used to subjectively measure fatigue, the range is 0-52 with higher scores indicating less fatigue.
Objectively measured sleep - sleep onset latency Before and after the 12 week intervention/intervention period Accelerometer data will be used to measure sleep onset latency in minutes.
Objectively measured sleep - total sleep time Before and after the 12 week intervention/intervention period Accelerometer data will be used to measure total sleep time in minutes.
Objectively measured sleep - sleep duration variability Before and after the 12 week intervention/intervention period Accelerometer data will be used to measure sleep duration variability in minutes.
Objectively measured sleep - sleep midpoint variability Before and after the 12 week intervention/intervention period Accelerometer data will be used to measure sleep midpoint variability in minutes.
Objectively measured sedentary behaviour Before and after the 12 week intervention/intervention period Accelerometer data will be used to measure total time spent in sedentary time in minutes.
Objectively measured physical activity Before and after the 12 week intervention/intervention period Accelerometer data will be used to measure total time spent in physical activity in minutes.
Subjectively measured sleep - insomnia Before and after the 12 week intervention/intervention period The Insomnia Severity index, will be used to measure the level of insomnia - it is a questionnaire and has a range of 0-28 with higher scores indicating more insomnia.
Subjectively measured sleep quality - Before and after the 12 week intervention/intervention period The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index will be used to measure subjective sleep quality, this is a questionnaire and has a range of 0-21 with higher scores indicating worse sleep quality.
Subjectively measured sleepiness Before and after the 12 week intervention/intervention period Epworth Sleepiness Scale is a questionnaire and has a range of 0-24 with higher scores indicating more sleepiness.
Blood pressure Before and after the 12 week intervention/intervention period Blood pressure (both diastolic and systolic) will be measured using an automatic electronic device and the units used will be millimetres of mercury.
Fasting blood glucose Before and after the 12 week intervention/intervention period Fasting measured via a venous sample and in millimoles per litre (Mmol/L)
Insulin Before and after the 12 week intervention/intervention period Insulin will be measured via a venous sample and in micro units per millilitre.
Physical function - the sit to stand-60 Before and after the 12 week intervention/intervention period The sit to stand-60 is the number of times the participant can rise from sit to stand in one minute using a designated chair with no arms and without the use of the participants arms, and is reported as a number.
Triglycerides Before and after the 12 week intervention/intervention period Triglycerides will be measured via a venous sample and in Mmol/L.
Cholesterol Before and after the 12 week intervention/intervention period Cholesterol, including Low density lipoprotein and high density lipoprotein and total cholesterol, will be measured via a venous sample and in Mmol/L
Physical function - the short physical performance battery Before and after the 12 week intervention/intervention period The short physical performance battery consists of 3 physical tests, with a total score range of 0-12 with higher scores indicating better physical function.
Body composition - via bioimpedance Before and after the 12 week intervention/intervention period Bioimpedance scales will be used to measure body composition including percentage fat, muscle mass and water
Depression - The Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ9) Before and after the 12 week intervention/intervention period PHQ9 will be used to measure depressive symptoms. The PHQ9 has a range of 0-27 with higher scores indicating more depressive symptoms/depression.
Food intake - food diaries Before and after the 12 week intervention/intervention period 3 Day food diaries will be used to measure food intake.
Physical and Cognitive function - The World Health Organisation Disability Assessment schedule (WHODAS) Before and after the 12 week intervention/intervention period WHODAS is a questionnaire used to assess both physical and cognitive function. Each question is scored 0-4, scores are then averaged for all the questions so the range is 0-4 and the higher the score the more difficulty the participant is experiencing in functioning.
Cognitive function - verbal fluency test Before and after the 12 week intervention/intervention period Cognitive function will be measured using the verbal fluency test, which is conducted over two 60s periods and is scored by the number of correct answers.
Quality of life- European Quality of Life 5 dimension (EQ-5D-5L) Before and after the 12 week intervention/intervention period EQ-5D-5L, the five questions are scored 1-5 and each represents a different aspect, it is presented as a five digit number representing each domain. The higher the numbers, the worse quality of life.
Weight Before and after the 12 week intervention/intervention period Weight in kilograms will be measured.
Height Before and after the 12 week intervention/intervention period Height in metres will be measured.
Body mass index (BMI) Before and after the 12 week intervention/intervention period BMI will be calculated using weight and height to produce BMI in kg/m\^2
Anxiety - The General Anxiety Disorder Assessment-7 (GAD7) Before and after the 12 week intervention/intervention period GAD7 will be used to measure anxiety symptoms. It has a range of 0-21, with higher scores indicating more anxiety.
