Background In people diabetes, are common likely associated symptoms. However, limited research has investigated the predictive ability on sleep. Design A correlational, cross‐sectional design used. Methods Data collected at a large university Midwestern United States from September 2013–March 2014. Multiple linear regression analyses used relationship (fatigue, impairment. instruments included Patient‐Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System instruments, Diabetes Symptom Checklist Distress Scale. Findings ( N = 90; 52.2% female, mean age 57.4 years), gender, A1C, pain fatigue significantly when age, duration, controlled. Those variables collectively explained 52% variation disturbance. Fatigue same covariates Conclusion suggested that symptoms, including strongly underscoring need include detailed assessments evaluating
