    Background: Poor sleep quality can elevate stress levels and diminish overall well-being. Japanese individuals often experience sleep deprivation, and workers have high levels of stress. Nevertheless, research examining the connection between objective sleep assessments and stress levels, as well as overall well-being, among Japanese workers is lacking. Objective: This study aims to investigate the correlation between physiological data, including sleep duration and heart rate variability (HRV), objectively measured through wearable devices, and 3 states (sleepiness, mood, and energy) assessed through ecological momentary assessment (EMA) and use of rating scales for stress and well-being. Methods: A total of 40 office workers (female, 20/40, 50%; mean age 40.4 years, SD 11.8 years) participated in the study. Participants were asked to wear a wearable wristband device for 8 consecutive weeks. EMA regarding sleepiness, mood, and energy levels was conducted via email messages sent by participants 4 times daily, with each session spaced 3 hours apart. This assessment occurred on 8 designated days within the 8-week timeframe. Participants’ stress levels and perception of well-being were assessed using respective self-rating questionnaires. Subsequently, participants were categorized into quartiles based on their stress and well-being scores, and the sleep patterns and HRV indices recorded by the Fitbit Inspire 2 were compared among these groups. The Mann-Whitney U test was used to assess differences between the quartiles, with adjustments made for multiple comparisons using the Bonferroni correction. Furthermore, EMA results and the sleep and HRV indices were subjected to multilevel analysis for a comprehensive evaluation. Results: The EMA achieved a total response rate of 87.3%, while the Fitbit Inspire 2 wear rate reached 88.0%. When participants were grouped based on quartiles of well-being and stress-related scores, significant differences emerged. Specifically, individuals in the lowest stress quartile or highest subjective satisfaction quartile retired to bed earlier (P<.001 and P=.01, respectively), whereas those in the highest stress quartile exhibited greater variation in the midpoint of sleep (P<.001). A multilevel analysis unveiled notable relationships: intraindividual variability analysis indicated that higher energy levels were associated with lower deviation of heart rate during sleep on the preceding day (β=–.12, P<.001), and decreased sleepiness was observed on days following longer sleep durations (β=–.10, P<.001). Furthermore, interindividual variability analysis revealed that individuals with earlier midpoints of sleep tended to exhibit higher energy levels (β=–.26, P=.04). Conclusions: Increased sleep variabilities, characterized by unstable bedtime or midpoint of sleep, were correlated with elevated stress levels and diminished well-being. Conversely, improved sleep indices (eg, lower heart rate during sleep and earlier average bedtime) were associated with heightened daytime energy levels. Further research with a larger sample size using these methodologies, particularly focusing on specific phenomena such as social jet lag, has the potential to yield valuable insights.

    BACKGROUND: Since there are limited studies on the associations between glycemic variability (GV) and sleep quality or physical activity in subjects without diabetes, we evaluated the associations between GV, as assessed by continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), and both sleep quality and daily steps using wearable devices in healthy individuals. METHODS: Forty participants without diabetes were monitored by both an intermittently scanned CGM and a smartwatch-type activity tracker for 2 weeks. The standard deviation (SD) and coefficient of variation (CV) of glucose were evaluated as indices of GV. The activity tracker was used to calculate each participant's average step count per day. We also calculated sleep duration, sleep efficiency, and sleep latency based on data from the activity tracker. Spearman's correlation coefficient was used to assess the association between GV and sleep indices or daily steps. For each participant, periods were divided into quartiles according to step counts throughout the day. We compared mean parameter differences between the periods of lowest quartile and highest quartile (lower 25% and upper 25%). RESULTS: SD glucose was significantly positively correlated with sleep latency (R = 0.23, P < 0.05). There were no significant correlations among other indices in GV and sleep quality (P > 0.05). SD glucose and CV glucose levels in the upper 25% period of daily steps were lower than those in the lower 25% period in each participant (both, P < 0.01). CONCLUSION: In subjects without diabetes, GV evaluated by intermittently scanned CGM was positively associated with the time to fall asleep. Furthermore, GV in the days of larger daily steps was decreased compared to the days of smaller daily steps in each participant.

    Background There are limited data about the association between body mass index (BMI), glycemic variability (GV), and life-related factors in healthy nondiabetic adults. Methods This cross-sectional study was carried out within our ethics committee-approved study called “Exploring the impact of nutrition advice on blood sugar and psychological status using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and wearable devices”. Prediabetes was defined by the HbA1c level of 5.7–6.4% and /or fasting glucose level of 100–125 mg/dL. Glucose levels and daily steps were measured for 40 participants using Free Style Libre and Fitbit Inspire 2 under normal conditions for 14 days. Dietary intakes and eating behaviors were assessed using a brief-type self-administered dietary history questionnaire and a modified questionnaire from the Obesity Guidelines. Results All indices of GV were higher in the prediabetes group than in the healthy group, but a significant difference was observed only in mean amplitude of glycemic excursions (MAGE). In the multivariate analysis, only the presence of prediabetes showed a significant association with the risk of higher than median MAGE (Odds, 6.786; 95% CI, 1.596–28.858; P = 0.010). Additionally, the underweight (BMI < 18.5) group had significantly higher value in standard deviation (23.7 ± 3.5 vs 19.8 ± 3.7 mg/dL, P = 0.038) and coefficient variability (22.6 ± 4.6 vs 18.4 ± 3.2%, P = 0.015), compared to the normal group. This GV can be partially attributed to irregularity of eating habits. On the contrary, the overweight (BMI > 25) group had the longest time above the 140 or 180 mg/dL range, which may be due to eating style and taking fewer steps (6394 ± 2337 vs 9749 ± 2408 steps, P = 0.013). Conclusions Concurrent CGM with diet and activity monitoring could reduce postprandial hyperglycemia through assessment of diet and daily activity, especially in non- normal weight individuals.

    AIMS/INTRODUCTION: There have been few reports about the longitudinal changes in pancreas volume (PV) or pancreatic steatosis (PS) in response to obesity. In this longitudinal analysis using health check-up data, we explored changes in PV, PS and glucose metabolic indices that occurred after weight gain in Japanese without diabetes. MATERIALS/METHODS: Clinical data on 37 Japanese subjects with a ≥1 kg/m(2) increase in body mass index between two health check-ups and without diabetes were collected. PV, pancreas attenuation (PA) and splenic attenuation (SA) were evaluated using computed tomography (CT) images. The pancreas area was outlined by hand in multiple images with slice thickness of 2 mm, and the PV was computed by summing these areas. PS was defined as the difference between SA and PA (SA-PA). Medical records were collected, including findings on immunoreactive insulin (IRI), homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-R) and beta cell function (HOMA-β). Paired t-test and Spearman's correlation coefficient were used in the analyses. RESULTS: The median follow-up period was 21.1 months and the mean BMI was increased from 25.5 ± 3.3 kg/m(2) to 27.0 ± 3.3 kg/m(2). PV (53.5 ± 15.9 cm(3) vs. 56.2 ± 16.4 cm(3)) and SA-PA (8.7 ± 9.1 HU vs. 13.6 ± 10.9 HU) increased significantly after weight gain (both, P < 0.001). There were significant increases of IRI and HOMA-R with the weight gain (both, P < 0.05), whereas HOMA-β exhibited only a nonsignificant trend of increase (55.4% (41.5-65.5) vs. 56.8% (46.2-83.7), P = 0.07). CONCLUSIONS: Both PV and PS were increased longitudinally with weight gain in Japanese without diabetes.

     View Summary

    Background: We investigated the changes in blood glucose fluctuation, gastric emptying, and vascular endothelial function by switching from an exenatide twice-daily formulation (BID) to a once-weekly formulation (QW) since the evaluation of postprandial glucose excursion and glycemic variability (GV) by continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) after switching was lacking. Methods: Twenty-nine patients with type 2 diabetes treated with exenatide BID were included in this study and switched to exenatide QW for 24 weeks. GV assessed by CGM, gastric emptying (by 13 C-acetate breath test) and vascular endothelial function (by reactive hyperemia - peripheral arterial tonometry) were evaluated at baseline and 24 weeks after switching. Results: HbA1c decreased significantly from the baseline to week 24, while postprandial glucose levels after breakfast and dinner significantly increased (both P <0.05). However, the increases in GV indices were modest and not statistically significant at week 24. Vascular endothelial function was also not significantly changed after switching (P >0.05). Gastric emptying was significantly accelerated at week 24 (Tmax 83.4 ± 12.1 min vs. 58.2 ± 16.4 min) (P <0.001) and correlated with increased postprandial glucose levels after breakfast and dinner (both P <0.05). Conclusions: Despite the increase in postprandial glucose associated with accelerated gastric emptying after switching from exenatide BID to QW, change in GV was modest and no significant deterioration in vascular endothelial function was observed after switching. These results support the superiority of treatment with exenatide QW over exenatide BID in clinical practice; however, attention should be paid to the monitoring and management of postprandial glucose levels when selecting exenatide QW.
