Core Tip
Core tip: In Iran, diabetes is one of the health concerns with a prevalence of 8.5% because of lifestyle changes following rapid urbanization. Few studies have been conducted in Iran concerning quality of sleep among people with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Therefore, the present study aimed to examine the quality of sleep among people with type-2 diabetes referring to diabetes clinic in Ardabil, Northwest of Iran where diabetes is a health research priority in this province. The results showed that, age, duration of disease, psychological distress and high level of cholesterol were independently associated with poor sleep quality. Therefore, promotion of diabetes management, regular primary care and psychological consultation are recommended in order to improve sleep quality among people with type 2 diabetes.
