Relationship between obstructive sleep apnea and metabolic control and chronic complications in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus

Abstract

Obstructive sleep apnea （OSA） is a common sleep apnea disorder. Studies have shown that patients with T2DM have a higher incidence of OSA, and the latter further increases the difficulty of treating diabetes. This paper describes the adverse effects of OSA on type 2 diabetes patients from the perspective of blood sugar, blood lipids, blood pressure and chronic complications of diabetes, to provide recommendations for clinical treatment of OSA.
