Abstract

Given the consequences of sleep apnea and coexisting diabetes, satisfactory treatment of both diseases is required. Our results of continuous glucose monitoring in severe sleep apnea diabetic patients before and during continuous positive airway pressure/CPAP therapy showed significant reduction of nocturnal glucose variability and improved overnight glucose control on CPAP.
