Popis: Background Elevated cardiovascular disease risk in people with type 1 diabetes (T1DM) is incompletely understood. Glycemic control, glycemic variability, and sleep quality and duration may relate to cardiovascular disease risk in this population via endothelial dysfunction. Objective The aim of this study was to examine relationships among glycemic control, glycemic variability, sleep quality and duration, and endothelial function in adults with T1DM. Methods Endothelial function was measured using flow-mediated dilation. Glycemic control and glycemic variability were measured using A1C and a continuous glucose monitor, respectively; sleep quality and duration were measured with the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Results Twenty subjects were recruited. Reduced flow-mediated dilation and higher glucose levels were associated with poorer sleep quality (r = -0.51, P = .01; r = 0.52, P = .03). Subjects with shorter sleep duration had greater glycemic variability. Conclusions Endothelial dysfunction (a precursor to cardiovascular disease) relates to glycemic control, glycemic variability, and sleep quality in T1DM.
