Diet plays a crucial role in managing type 1 diabetes (T1DM). :This study aimed to determine the impact of nutritional habits on sleep deprivation and glucose control in school-aged children with T1DM. In this cross-sectional study, nutritional habits and sleep deprivation were assessed in 100 school-aged children with T1DM, aged 7-13 years. The Dietary Habits Index and the Sleep Deprivation Scale for Children and Adolescents were used to evaluate nutritional habits and the level of sleep deprivation. Patients' sociodemographic and nutritional variables were collected through researcher-composed questionnaires. HbA1c levels over the past 6 months were obtained from the patient data system. The study found a moderately strong positive correlation between the Dietary Habits Index score and HbA1c ( < 0.001), with 28% of the variation in HbA1c explained by changes in the Dietary Habits Index score. However, no correlation was found between the Dietary Habits Index score and the level of sleep deprivation. The nutritional habits of school-aged children with T1DM may affect glucose control and sleep deprivation. Therefore, it is important to educate children with T1DM on making healthy food choices to manage their condition effectively.
饮食在1型糖尿病（T1DM）的管理中起着至关重要的作用。本研究旨在确定营养习惯对患有T1DM的学龄儿童睡眠剥夺和血糖控制的影响。在这项横断面研究中，对100名7至13岁患有T1DM的学龄儿童的营养习惯和睡眠剥夺情况进行了评估。使用饮食习惯指数和儿童青少年睡眠剥夺量表来评估营养习惯和睡眠剥夺水平。通过研究人员编制的问卷收集患者的社会人口统计学和营养变量。过去6个月的糖化血红蛋白（HbA1c）水平从患者数据系统中获取。研究发现饮食习惯指数得分与HbA1c之间存在中等强度的正相关（<0.001），HbA1c变化的28%可由饮食习惯指数得分的变化来解释。然而，未发现饮食习惯指数得分与睡眠剥夺水平之间存在相关性。患有T1DM的学龄儿童的营养习惯可能会影响血糖控制和睡眠剥夺。因此，对患有T1DM的儿童进行健康饮食选择教育以有效控制病情非常重要。
