Consensus defines nocturnal hypoglycemia as occurring between 00:00 and 06:00 hrs. However, this may introduce bias, as for many, these hours only partially match real sleeping hours. Therefore, we compared rates of hypoglycemia while asleep (defined by Fitbit Charge 4) to rates of conventionally-defined nocturnal hypoglycemia. Hypo-METRICS study participants wore a Fitbit charge 4 and blinded FreeStyle Libre glucose monitor for up to 70 days. Every hypoglycemia episode (≤70mg/dL or ≤54mg/dL for ≥15 min) was classified as ‘asleep’ or ‘awake’ based on Fitbit sleep intervals and ‘nocturnal’ (00:00-06:00 hrs) or ‘day-time’. We compared weekly sensor-detected hypoglycemia (SDH) rates whilst asleep to nocturnal SDH rates using a paired sample Wilcoxon test. We included 542 participants (269 with type 1 diabetes, median (IQR) age 56 (44-66) years, HbA1c 7.3%(6.7-7.9), with 69 (65-70) nights with sleep data/participant). Sleep duration was 6.1 (5.2-6.8) hours. Median weekly rates of SDH while asleep were higher than rates of nocturnal SDH both ≤70mg/dL (1.3 (0.6-2.5) vs 0.9 (0.4-1.8), p&lt;0.001) and ≤54mg/dL (0.4 (0.2-0.9) vs 0.3 (0.1-0.7), p&lt;0.001). Stratifying by type of diabetes did not change the direction or magnitude of the differences in SDH rates. Using clock time to estimate nocturnal hypoglycemia underestimates hypoglycemia whilst asleep by up to a third. Using activity trackers such as Fitbit to identify sleep offers a novel way to estimate hypoglycemia whilst asleep to better reflect lived experience of nocturnal hypoglycemia.
