Association between Social Jetlag and glycemic control in diabetic patients at King Saud University Medical City

Introduction: Social Jetlag has been linked to many cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, as it disturbs the circadian rhythm. Methodology: case-control matched by age and gender conducted among 511 subjects. Control group: Diabetic with HbA1c <7.5%, while cases: Diabetic with HbA1c 7.5% or more. We used Munich Chronotype Questionnaire to assess the Social Jetlag. Results: Social Jetlag status was similar among both cases and control participants which indicate that there was no significant association between Social Jetlag and HbA1c (P-value = 0.394). The prevalence of Social Jetlag in the studied population is 58.4%. Conclusion: We suggest future studies to have a more precise estimation of sleep duration and Social Jetlag and focusing on Social Jetlag and its related problems.
