We investigated the association between presence sleep in type 2 diabetes (T2DM) Sunyani Government hospital Ghana. Using a case–control design, we recruited 200 T2DM compared them 160 non-diabetic controls. The was assessed using Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ)-9 Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Instrument (PSQI). Blood samples were collected measure glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels profiles. Poor defined HbA1c > 7%, PHQ-9 score 9 PSQI ≥ 5. Results had higher prevalence (31.5% vs 10.6%, p < 0.001) (64% 40%, Glycemic not associated with patients. Depression increased odds hypercholesteremia [OR (95% CI) = 10.71 (2.64–43.41), 0.001] controls low HDL cholesterol [3.2 (1.38–7.48), 0.007] hypertriglyceridemia [2.54 (1.15–8.51), 0.001]. Conclusion In our study population, common abnormalities serum levels, but control.
