Analyzing the causes of sleep disorders in elderly patients with diabetes and taking the corresponding nursing measures for intervention help to understand the specific application effect. A total of 120 elderly diabetic patients with sleep disorder are selected as research objects, with a time range from January 2021 to October 2022. They are randomly divided into two groups: the control group (60 cases), who are provided with general care during the nursing process, and the observation group (60 cases), who are given the nursing intervention according to the physical conditions. The two groups are compared on the nursing effect, blood sugar level, and sleep quality, as well as analyzing the factors influencing the patients’ sleep. According to the research, the main causes of sleep disorders involve in psychology, environment, physiology and diet; From the perspective of nursing effect, the blood glucose level in the observation group is well controlled, and the nursing effect and the sleep quality are better (P < 0.05). Since many factors may result in sleep disorder in elderly patients with diabetes, it is necessary to provide the corresponding nursing according to the specific reasons in the clinical nursing process, which will reduce the sleep disorder, enhance the patients’ life quality and improve the treatment control effect.
