Abstract

Introduction: In the present study, we was examined the relation of self-reported usual sleep time to prevalence DM and IGT in a large hospital based sample of middle-aged and older adults.
 Methods: Cross-sectional study was conducted on 625 patients between age group 18-60 yrs and both sex. Usual sleep time was obtained by standardized questionnaire. Diabetes mellitus was defined as a serum glucose level of 126 mg/dL or more fasting or 200 mg/dL or more 2 hours following standard oral glucose challenge or medication use for DM. Impaired glucose tolerance was defined as a 2-hour post challenge glucose level of 140 mg/dL or more and less than 200 mg/dL. The relation of sleep time to DM and IGT was examined using categorical logistic regression.
 Results: 49.28% subjects sugar level was more than 200 mg/dl and 13.72% subjects sugar level less than 140 mg/dl. The association between sleeping time and blood sugar level was found statistically significant. The association between Sleeping time and blood sugar level was found statistically significant
 Conclusion: A sleep duration of 6 hours or less or 9 hours or more is associated with increased prevalence of DM and IGT. Because this effect was present in subjects without insomnia, voluntary sleep restriction may contribute to the large public health burden of DM.
 Keywords: DM, IGT, Hb1Ac

Summary

Introduction

National sleep foundation guidelines advise that healthy adults need between 7 and 9 hours of sleep per night. We will be examined the relation of self-reported usual sleep time to prevalence DM and IGT in a large hospital based sample of middle aged and older adults. Study duration: 12 months Study place: S.P.Medical College and P.B.M Hospital, Bikaner Sample size: 623 adult age 18-60 years. Using the above values at 95% confidence level, a sample size of 623 patients need to be included in the study. Diabetes mellitus was defined as use of insulin or a hypoglycemic agent or fasting plasma glucose level of ≥126 mg/dL (≥ 7.0 mmol/L), or a 2-hour post load plasma glucose level of ≥ 200 mg/dL(≥ 11.0 mmol/L) or Hb1Ac ≥ 6.5% or symptoms of hyperglycemia and random blood glucose level ≥ 200mg/dl(≥ 11.0 mmol/L).
