Sleep problems are associated with poor blood glucose control, but current diabetes self-management programs do not include sleep education. This study will randomize participants into two groups: one that receives sleep education and one that does not. The researchers expect both groups to experience reductions in blood glucose. The researchers hypothesize that individuals who receive sleep education as part of their diabetes self-management training will experience greater improvements in blood glucose control, as measured by hemoglobin A1c, compared to the control group.
