00:00A new diabetes study is examining the link between blood sugar and daily quality of life.
00:05Researchers studied 400 people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
00:10Participants used continuous glucose monitors for 14 consecutive days.
00:14They also recorded their mood, stress, sleep, energy, and daily well-being.
00:19The study found that more time in the normal glucose range was linked to better quality of
00:24life the next day. But researchers also found a surprising pattern involving glucose variability.
00:30People reported better well-being after days when their blood sugar varied more than usual.
00:35The findings suggest that strict efforts to minimize every glucose fluctuation may sometimes
00:40add to the daily burden of diabetes management. The study group included 72% with type 1 diabetes
00:47and 28% with type 2 diabetes. Their average HbA1c level was 7.6%.
00:53Researchers say blood sugar control remains important,
00:57but quality of life may also need consideration. The findings will be presented at the EASD meeting
01:03in Milan. Disclosure. This video contains stock footage and content created or enhanced
