Research Study: Diabetes

1. Hypoglycemia in Type 1 Diabetes:
We are looking for volunteers with type 1 diabetes who are between the ages of 18 and 30 years to participate in a research study at the University of Illinois at Chicago. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of a program designed to reduce fear of hypoglycemia in young adults with type 1 diabetes. You may qualify if you have had type 1 diabetes for at least one year, use an insulin pump and experience fear of hypoglycemia. Qualified participants will receive financial compensation at the completion of each study visit.

2. Sleep in Type 1 Diabetes:
We are looking for volunteers with type 1 diabetes who are between the ages of 18 and 65 years to participate in a research study at the University of Illinois at Chicago. In this study we are looking at the relationship between diabetes and sleep. The purpose of this study is to test whether changing or improving sleep, improves glycemic control and reduces diabetic distress. You may qualify if you have had type 1 diabetes for at least one year, sleep on average less than 6.5 hours a night, and are interested in sleeping more. Qualified participants will receive financial compensation and a free Fitbit device for completing the entire study.
