Nocturnal hyperglycaemia in type 2 diabetes with sleep apnoea syndrome

Diabetes Res Clin Pract. 2011 Jan;91(1):e21-3. doi: 10.1016/j.diabres.2010.09.029.

Abstract

We assessed glycaemic status in 26 overweight or obese people with type 2 diabetes suspected of having sleep apnoea syndrome (SAS). In people with SAS (n=13), nocturnal glycaemia was 38% higher, independent of body mass index (particularly during rapid eye movement sleep) compared with non-SAS subjects (p<0.008).
