Summary of the Proposed Research:
This project aims to understand how daily lifestyle factors, such as sleep, physical activity, stress, as well as insulin use, interact with blood sugar levels in children with Type-1 Diabetes. We are particularly interested in how these factors interact over time within each child, particularly as these day-to-day variations can significantly impact glycemic control and overall diabetes-management. A better understanding of these within-person temporal patterns can help us identify time-sensitive states of when a child might be at risk of poor blood sugar control during the day. In turn, this knowledge could lead to the development of more personalized and precise strategies for diabetes management in daily life. Prior work often looks at broader, long-term trends rather than the immediate, daily interactions that can influence a child’s diabetes management. Your recently published results for The Acute Effects of Real-World Physical Activity on Glycemia in Adolescents With Type 1 Diabetes support this need for an increased emphasis on shorter time scales. By focusing on the individual, day-to-day changes, our research aims to fill a gap in unfolding the temporal dynamics of lifestyle factors in current diabetes care.
