Overview of studies involving monitoring of mental health, behaviour and glycaemic control
| Study | Monitoring method | Sample | Key outcomes | Methodological characteristics |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mood and glycaemic control | ||||
| Cox et al, 2007 [36] | SMBG | 60 people with T1D | Postprandial excursions were associated with negative mood state and cognitive impairment |
Observational Randomised Open label SMBG |
| Hermanns et al, 2007 [6] | CGM-blind | 36 people with T1D |
Higher glucose values were associated with less positive and more negative mood states Glycaemic variability showed no association with mood state |
Observational Blinded CGM Multilevel analysis |
| Wagner et al, 2017 [37] | CGM-blind | 50 people with T2D |
Glycaemic variability had no association with mood state High and low glucose values were associated with negative affect |
Observational Blinded CGM- Multilevel analysis |
| Skalf et al, 2009 [38] | SMBG | 204 people with T2D | Negative mood predicted high fasting glucose the next day |
Observational Open CGM Multilevel CGM |
| Shapira et al, 2021 [39] | SMBG | 32 children / adolescents with T1D | Positive affect was associated with higher TIR, less time below range and less GV |
Observational SMBG Multilevel analysis |
| Polonsky and Fortman, 2020 [40] | Open CGM | 2019 people with T1D |
Higher daily TIR was associated with better mood rating in the evening No association found between mood and GV |
Observational Open CGM Multilevel analysis |
| Behaviour and glycaemic control | ||||
| Wagner et al, 2017 [37] |
Blind CGM EMA |
50 people with T2D | Higher variability in self-care was associated with more hyper- and hypoglycaemic values |
Observational Blinded CGM Multilevel analysis |
| Moscovich 2019, [47] | EMA | 83 adults with T1D |
Negative affect prior to meal was associated with more binge eating Binge eating was associated with higher postprandial glucose values |
Observational Open CGM Multilevel analysis |
| Cecilia-Costa et al, 2021 [67] | Questionnaire | 169 children / adolescents with T1D |
Negative affect and higher diabetes distress were associated with more binge-eating episodes Disordered executive function was associated with more disordered eating behaviour |
Observational SMBG or CGM |
| Yang et al, 2020 [49] | mHealth devices | 60 people with T2D |
Three phenotypes: low, medium and high engagement Low engagement was associated with higher HbA1c |
Observational SMBG 6 month follow-up |
| Sleep and glycaemic control | ||||
| Reutrakul et al, 2013 [68] | Sleep questionnaires | 194 people with T2D | Lower sleep depth (<6 h) and unfavourable sleep chronotype were associated with higher HbA1c |
Meta-analysis of observational studies Great heterogeneity |
| Knutson et al, 2011 [54] | Wrist actigraphy | 40 people with T2D | Sleep fragmentation was associated with higher fasting glucose and higher HOMA index |
Observational SMBG Multicentric |
GV, glucose variability; T1D, type 1 diabetes; T2D, type 2 diabetes; TIR (time-in-range; glucose level 3.9–10 mmol/l)
