Short answer
Several possible studiesNo clear answer.
More than one paper fits the article's details, and none fits well enough to single out. Checking claims against the wrong study would be worse than not checking them at all.
Checked against the study summary. The full text wasn't available, so some details couldn't be settled either way.

Claim 1 of 4Not checkedNew research to be presented at the EASD meeting suggests that, in people living with diabetes using CGM data paired with daily quality-of-life ratings, days with more widely fluctuating glucose readings while still within safe limits are followed by days with a better quality of life compared with days with stricter control.View evidenceHide evidence
Not checked
NewsLink could not identify one source study, so this claim was not compared against a paper.
Claim 2 of 4Not checkedThe study used the PRO-MENTAL dataset, with quality of life assessed daily for 14 consecutive days using ecological momentary assessment based on the WHO-5 questionnaire, alongside daily sleep quality, stress, mood, and energy ratings.View evidenceHide evidence
As stated14 consecutive days
Not checked
NewsLink could not identify one source study, so this claim was not compared against a paper.
Claim 3 of 4Not checkedIn 400 people with diabetes, higher glucose variability and greater time in normoglycaemia on the previous day were significantly associated with higher next-day quality of life, while time above and below the safe range was not significantly associated.View evidenceHide evidence
As stated400 individuals
Not checked
NewsLink could not identify one source study, so this claim was not compared against a paper.
Claim 4 of 4Not checkedThe authors say the findings may suggest that people experience lower quality of life when trying to minimize glucose fluctuations too strictly, potentially because of burden or restrictions in daily life that can make them feel unable to safely engage in certain activities.View evidenceHide evidence
Not checked
NewsLink could not identify one source study, so this claim was not compared against a paper.
Method layer
No single source study was found.
NewsLink still surfaces nearby research so you can inspect the field instead of a single paper.
