Abstract

We studied the prevalence of sleep disturbances in 184 persons with diabetes, and 99 controls matched for age and sex. Sleep disorders were more common in diabetics (33.7% vs. 8.2% in controls; P < 0.01). Patients with sleep disturbances were younger than those with normal sleep, and had onset of diabetes at a younger age. There was a significant association of sleep disturbances with the presence of cough, dyspnea, nocturnal cramps, paresthesia and burning of soles. Sleep disturbances may be due to physical discomfort, psychosocial factors, fluctuations in metabolic control and perhaps also hypoinsulinemia. Quality of life is affected and coping with the disease is made difficult by sleep disorders. Thus, physicians caring for persons with diabetes must be able to recognize, diagnose and manage sleep disturbances in their patients, when they occur.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
