AI simplified
Abstract
Seventy participants will be observed for 10 days to assess dietary intake and glucose variability during night shifts.
- Blood glucose levels may be higher in night-shift workers compared to those on non-night workdays.
- Dietary intake, sleep patterns, and physical activity are all factors that could influence glucose management for night-shift workers with type 2 diabetes.
- Mean glucose concentration and variability will be compared across different workdays and rest days.
- Qualitative interviews with approximately 13 participants will identify barriers and facilitators to healthy eating while working night shifts.
- The study aims to develop strategies to improve dietary behaviors and glucose control for shift workers with type 2 diabetes.
