Sleep Apnea in Type 2 Diabetes

Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome and non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy: a case control study

Background: Sleep apnea is temporary cessation or absence of breathing during sleep. Significant increase in blood pressure is clinically seen in apneic episodes. The aim of this study was to examine sleep apnea syndrome as a risk factor for non- arthritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) in a case control study. Methods: Nineteen NAION patients (9 men and 10 women) and 31 age and ...

Effect of Sleep Disturbances on Quality of Life, Diabetes Self-Care Behavior, and Patient-Reported Outcomes

IN BRIEF Poor sleep quality and sleep disorders, particularly insomnia, obstructive sleep apnea, and restless legs syndrome, are prevalent among people with type 2 diabetes. Evidence suggests that coexisting diabetes and sleep disturbances are associated with decreases in quality of life, diabetes self-care behaviors, and patient-reported outcomes. Additional research is required to determine t...

Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome could be a significant risk factor for the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Obstructive sleep apnea and type 2 diabetes

Type 2 diabetes and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are diseases with high prevalence and major public health impact. There is evidence that regular snoring and OSA are independently associated with alterations in glucose metabolism. Thus, OSA might be a risk factor for the development of type 2 diabetes. Possible causes might be intermittent hypoxia and sleep fragmentation, which are typical fea...

Diabetes and Sleep Apnoea

Type 2 diabetes and obstructive sleep apnoea (oSa) are diseases with high prevalence and major public health impact. There is evidence that oSa is independently associated with alterations in glucose metabolism. Furthermore, oSa is a significant risk factor for the development of type 2 diabetes. Possible causes might be intermittent hypoxaemia and sleep fragmentation with increased oxidative s...
