Objective: To establish the differences in terms of sleep for patients with type 1 diabetes, depending on the level of blood glucose levels (BGL) during the night.

Materials and methods: The study included 43 participants with type 1 diabetes (Group A – patients with BGL during sleep from 3.9 to 7.4 mmol/l, Group B – 7.5–10.0 mmol/l. Patients had daily monitoring of BGL ‘CGMSGold’ by ‘MedtronikMINIMED’ (USA), polysomnography «SOMNOlab2 (PSG) Polysomnography (R & K)», the definition of HbA1c.

Results: See Table.

IndicatorGroup A n=25 Me [25;75]Group B n=18 Me [25;75]
BGL during sleep time (mmol/l)4.50[4.00; 5.60] &8.20[7.50; 9.50]
BGL “after sleep” (mmol/l)7.90[7.40; 9.20]&9.65[8.50;11.30]

N4 (%)3.50[1.90;13.50]&1.30[0.00; 7.50]
TST is longer in the group with BGL 4.50 mmol/L. REM sleep 10.5% increase in Group B. The shares represented a deep sleep are larger in Group A. In Group A the increase of TST decreases BGL during sleep (r=0.4098) and N2 sleep stage (r=0.4246). Decrease in N2 share decreases BGL during sleep (r=0.4997) and reduces N4 (r=0.5182), and has a negative coefficient with a value of REM sleep (r=−0.4330). In group B, REM sleep phase is inversely correlated with BGL “after sleep” (r=−0.5056), N3 (r=−0.8371), N4 (r=−0.7594).
&P<0.05

Conclusion: BGL 4.5 mmol/l during sleep increases the duration of sleep by increasing the N2, N4 and extending reduce REM sleep.
