The relation between sleep quality and glycemic control in patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus: An evidence-based case report

Introduction: Majority (67,9%) of the patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus have poor glycemic control (A1c±8%) due to low awareness in controlling their blood glucose level. Lifestyle plays a major role in glycemic control. One of them is sleep quality. The study aims to understand the influence between sleep quality and poor glycemic control in patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods: A literature research using PubMed^®and Science Direct^®was conducted and resulted in 6 original articles after a filtering through the titles and abstracts using inclusion and exclusion criteria. Only 1 article of meta-analysis was used by the author and been critically appraised for its validity, importance, and applicability. Results: Poor sleep quality increasing A1c index which results in glycemic control decrease [RR = 0,35; 95% CI = 0,12–0,58; P = 0,004] and moderate heterogeneity [I2 =65%]. Conclusion: Quality sleep habits could be applied to the type 2 diabetes patients in order to maintain their good glycemic control.
