The purpose of this research study is to investigate the relationship between sleep brain wave patterns and peripheral glucose (sugar) levels in individuals with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Participants will undergo continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) using a CGM device for up to two weeks before an in-laboratory sleep study which is part of routine medical care at UNC to examine how sugar levels fluctuate during sleep and how these fluctuations relate to brain wave activity

We want to learn more about patients' experiences with hospital care at home compared to care in the hospital building. To do this, we will ask patients and families to complete a short survey and then connect their answers with existing medical records. This will help us understand the costs, challenges, and benefits of different types of hospital care.

In the US, systematic economic and social disadvantages negatively impact certain groups of people resulting in higher risk for poorer health outcomes and lower quality of life for these groups. These health inequities contribute to vast, nationwide economic burdens. The intersection of insuring healthcare in the US and ensuring health equity sets the stage for the challenges explored in this research proposal. With the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services launching a Stars Health Equity Index to measure and reward health insurer performance for quality ratings within higher social risk factor populations, this shows the critical role that health insurers can play in advancing health equity and lowering costs across the broader US healthcare system. This research study can help provide critical insights about how health insurers can play a significant and effective role in advancing and ensuring health equity.
