Aim: To examine how hypoglycemia while asleep impacts self-reported daily functioning among adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) .

Methods: On 70 consecutive mornings, 250 people with T1D wearing a continuous glucose monitor reported sleep quality, mood, and alertness via the Hypo-METRICS smartphone app. Each night was categorized based on presence (+) or absence (-) of person-reported hypoglycemia (PRH) and sensor-detected hypoglycemia (SDH) into one of four types (see Figure 1, Type A-D) . Multilevel regression assessed associations between hypoglycemia and daily functioning (unstandardized coefficients (β) on original 0-scale) , adjusted for baseline demographic, clinical and psychological factors.

Results: In the first 54 adults (52% women, age[M±SD]: 45±15 years) , nighttime PRH (Type C & D, Figure 1) was associated with reduced subjective sleep quality (C: β=-0.67; D: β=-0.58) , mood (C: β=-0.43; D: β=-0.58) and alertness (C: β=-0.34, p=0.015; D: β=-0.46) (all p&lt;0.0unless specified) compared to nights without hypoglycemia (Type A) . Nights with SDH only (Type B) showed no significant reductions in sleep, mood or alertness (p&gt;0.05) .

Conclusion: These novel data show the potentially pivotal role of the subjective experience of hypoglycemia for sleep quality, mood and alertness.
