This information is provided directly by researchers, and we recognise that it isn't always easy to understand. We are working with researchers to improve the accessibility of this information. In some summaries, you may come across links to external websites. These websites will have more information to help you better understand the study.


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.

Start dates may differ between countries and research sites. The research team are responsible for keeping the information up-to-date.

INTERVENTIONAL

Intervention Type : BEHAVIORAL
Intervention Description : A 12 week intervention using CBTi to improve sleep measured using objective and subjective measures. Participants will complete a number of questionnaires and tests at baseline and at completion to allow comparisons to be made.
