Aims   Sleep duration (SD) has been associated with metabolic outcomes. Is there an independent association between short/long SD and glycemic control (GC) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) outpatients, compared to intermediate SD? Employing up-to-date definitions of SD, we comprehensively considered, simultaneously, all known confounding/mediating factors that recently emerged in the literature: age, gender, diet, physical activity, obesity, night pain, nocturnal diuresis, sleep quality, chronotype, sleep apnea, depressive symptoms, alcohol, caffeine, tobacco, number of endocrinologist appointments, T2DM family history, and sleep medication.Methods   A cross-sectional study of 140 consecutive T2DM outpatients, ages 40-65,  glycohemoglobin  ( HbA  1 c  )  goal  ≤ 7. We searched for variables (including HbA 1c ) significantly associated with short (<6 hours) or long (>8 hours) SD, in comparison to intermediate SD (6-8 hours).Results   Higher HbA 1c  levels increased the chance of belonging to the group that sleeps <6 hours ( p  ≤ 0.001). Better sleep quality, nocturnal diuresis, and morningness increased the chance of belonging to the group that sleeps >8 hours ( p  < 0.05).Conclusions   There is an independent association between short SD and elevated HbA 1c , in real-world T2DM outpatients. Future interventional studies could evaluate weather consistent, long-term sleep extension, from <6 hours to 7–9 hours per 24 hours, improves GC in T2DM outpatients.
