Abstract

Background: The obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSA) is a frequent condition, as well as type 2 diabetes mellitus. Both diseases are characterized by insulin resistance. Objectives: The aim of this study was to establish whether OSA is an independent risk factor for increased insulin resistance in diabetics. For this purpose, we tested the hypothesis that the insulin sensitivity in patients with type 2 diabetes and OSA can be improved by 2 days or 3 months of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment. Methods: In 9 obese patients with type 2 diabetes and OSA [apnoea/hypopnoea index 43.1 ± 21.3; body mass index (BMI) 37.3 ± 5.6 kg/m 2] and good glycaemic control on oral antidiabetics or on diet alone (HbA1c 6.4 ± 0.7%), the insulin sensitivity index (ISI) was established by euglycaemic hyperinsulinaemic clamp tests at baseline, after 2 days and after 3 months of effective CPAP treatment. Results: ISI was unchanged after 2 days of CPAP treatment, but was significantly improved after 3 months (4.38 ± 2.94 vs. 2.74 ± 2.25 at baseline; p = 0.021), without any significant changes in BMI. Glycaemic control was unaffected after 3 months (HbA1c 6.3 ± 0.6%; not significant). Fasting leptin levels showed no significant changes. Conclusions: These results indicate that OSA itself is an independent risk factor for insulin resistance. This effect may be explained by the elevated sympathetic activity in OSA.

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.
