Cross-Sectional Associations Between Measures of Sleep and Markers of Glucose Metabolism Among Subjects With and Without Diabetes
Open accessAbstract
OBJECTIVE: To examine whether sleep duration and quality are associated with fasting glucose, fasting insulin, or estimated insulin resistance in a community-based sample of early middle-aged adults. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: This was an ancillary study to the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) Study. Habitual sleep duration and fragmentation were estimated from 6 days of wrist actigraphy collected in 2003–2005. Insomnia was defined as self-reported difficulty falling asleep or waking up in the night three or more times per week plus average sleep efficiency of <80% based on actigraphy. Fasting blood samples to measure glucose and insulin were collected after the sleep measures during the CARDIA clinical examination in 2005–2006. Insulin resistance was estimated using the homeostatic model assessment (HOMA) method. Analyses were cross-sectional and stratified by the presence of diabetes. RESULTS: There was no association between sleep measures and fasting glucose, insulin, or HOMA in the 115 subjects without diabetes. Among the 40 subjects with diabetes, after adjustment for covariates, 10% higher sleep fragmentation was associated with a 9% higher fasting glucose level, a 30% higher fasting insulin level, and a 43% higher HOMA level. Insomnia was associated with a 23% higher fasting glucose level, a 48% higher fasting insulin level, and an 82% higher HOMA level. CONCLUSIONS: The observed association between poor sleep quality and higher glucose, insulin, and estimated insulin resistance among subjects with diabetes warrants further examination of the effect of sleep disturbances on glucose control in type 2 diabetes.

TL;DR
In this cross-sectional CARDIA ancillary study, objectively measured sleep duration was not associated with fasting glucose, insulin, or HOMA-IR, but greater sleep fragmentation and insomnia were associated with worse glucose metabolism among participants with diabetes, not those without. The authors conclude that poor sleep quality may be clinically relevant for glycemic control in type 2 diabetes and warrants further study.
Key findings
- Among the 40 subjects with diabetes, fully adjusted models showed that each 10% higher sleep fragmentation was associated with a 9% higher fasting glucose level, a 30% higher fasting insulin level, and a 43% higher HOMA level.
- Insomnia among subjects with diabetes was associated with a 23% higher fasting glucose level, a 48% higher fasting insulin level, and an 82% higher HOMA level.
- There was no association between sleep measures and fasting glucose, insulin, or HOMA in subjects without diabetes; the abstract states 115 subjects without diabetes, while Table 1 reports n=531 without diabetes and n=40 with diabetes (final sample 571). In unadjusted models among those without diabetes, frequent snoring and shorter sleep duration were associated with some outcomes, but these were not significant after adjustment; adjusted insomnia was associated with 14% lower fasting insulin and 14% lower HOMA.
- Sleep duration was not associated with any outcome in either group, and frequent snoring was not significantly associated with outcomes in fully adjusted models.
Methods
- Ancillary study to CARDIA at the Chicago site; 670 of 814 eligible participants consented, and the final analytic sample was 571 after excluding 9 with <3 days of actigraphy, 87 with reported fasting <8 h, 2 missing fasting glucose or insulin, and 1 with unknown diabetes status. Sleep was measured in 2003–2005 with wrist actigraphy (Actiwatch-16, 3 days on two occasions approximately 1 year apart) and questionnaires; fasting blood samples were collected in 2005–2006.
- Diabetes was defined by fasting plasma glucose ≥6.99 mmol/L, self-reported diagnosis, or diabetes medication use. HOMA-IR was calculated as fasting insulin (mU/L) × fasting glucose (mmol/L)/22.5. Insomnia was defined as self-reported difficulty falling asleep or waking at night ≥3 times/week plus actigraphic sleep efficiency <80%; frequent snoring was based on the Berlin Sleep Apnea questionnaire.
- Cross-sectional linear regressions were stratified by diabetes status; each sleep measure was entered into a separate model. Outcomes were natural-log transformed, and models were unadjusted and adjusted for age, race, sex, BMI, education, and income, using robust variance estimators.
Limitations
- The paper states that the cross-sectional design cannot determine causal direction; there were no polysomnographic measures, so sleep disorders such as obstructive sleep apnea could not be accurately detected; fasting status was self-reported and not objectively verified; the diabetes subgroup included only 40 individuals; and sleep was not assessed immediately before the clinical examination.
- Evident from the text: the small diabetes subgroup limits precision and generalizability, and multiple sleep predictors and outcomes were tested in separate models without stated adjustment for multiple comparisons.

Diabetes-group insomnia insulin confidence interval is inconsistent with its coefficient
MajorFor the adjusted diabetes-group insomnia result, the reported confidence interval has a midpoint of 0.321, not the reported coefficient of 0.389. Its lower bound also crosses zero despite the reported P value of 0.019.
Reported 0.389 · recomputed 0.321
“| β | –0.059 | 0.216 | -0.145 | 0.389 | | 95% CI | –0.203 to 0.085 | –0.133 to 0.565 | –0.275 to −0.014 | –0.068 to 0.710 | | P | 0.42 | 0.22 | 0.030 | 0.019 |”
Abstract says there were no associations in subjects without diabetes
MajorThe abstract's blanket statement conflicts with the fully adjusted results for subjects without diabetes: insomnia was associated with lower insulin and HOMA, with P values of 0.030 and 0.038, respectively.
“There was no association between sleep measures and fasting glucose, insulin, or HOMA in the 115 subjects without diabetes.”
“Among subjects without diabetes, the fully adjusted models showed insomnia was associated with lower insulin levels and, as a direct result of lower insulin levels, lower HOMA.”
Abstract gives the wrong number of participants without diabetes
MinorThe abstract says there were 115 subjects without diabetes, but Table 1 lists 531. The table's 531 subjects without diabetes and 40 with diabetes also sum to the stated final sample of 571.
“There was no association between sleep measures and fasting glucose, insulin, or HOMA in the 115 subjects without diabetes.”
“No diabetes (n = 531) Mean (SD)”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-10, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-10 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
