    Objective: Research was planned with the aim of determining the sleep quality of individuals with type 2 diabetes and the factors affecting this. Design: Descriptive and cross-sectional study Setting: Endocrinology Department of the Internal Medicine Section of Ege University Medical Faculty Hospital, Manisa Celal Bayar University Hafsa Sultan Hospital, and Balıkesir University Medical Faculty Hospital Subjects: The research was conducted between May 2014 and February 2015 on 366 individuals with type 2 diabetes. Intervention: Non-interventional Main outcome measure: The sleep quality of individuals with type 2 diabetes and the factors affecting this Results: The total Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) scores of individuals who had had diabetes for 1-4 years and 5-9 years were found to be significantly higher than the scores of those who had had diabetes for less than one year or more than ten years (f = 10.85, p = 0.000). The total PSQI scores of individuals using oral anti diabetic (OAD) and insulin diabetes treatment were significantly higher than the scores of patients receiving only diet treatment or OAD + insulin (f = 3.03, p = 0.029). A significant relationship was found between the HbA1c of the individuals in the study with type 2 diabetes and their total PSQI scores (p <0.01). Conclusion: It can be said that such socio-demographic characteristics as age, gender, income, duration of diabetes and diabetes treatment, and metabolic values such as the glycated haemoglobin (Hemoglobin A1c-HbA1c), fasting blood glucose and body mass index negatively affect sleep quality. © 2019, Kuwait Medical Association.
