Objectives
• To understand the prevalence of OSA in diabetes
• To describe the mechanisms whereby OSA may exacerbate diabetes complications
• To understand the association of OSA with the microvascular complications of diabetes

*In NHANES, “chronic kidney disease" refers to people with microalbuminuria (albumin:creatinine ratio >30 µg/mg).†In the NHANES analysis, "foot problems" includes foot/toe amputations, foot lesions, and numbness in the feet.‡"Eye damage" includes a positive response by NHANES participants to the question, "Have you been told diabetes has affected your eyes/had retinopathy?" Retinopathy is damage to the eye's retina. In NHANES, people without diagnosed diabetes were not asked this question, therefore, prevalence information for nondiabetics is not available.

Multiple metabolic pathways may contribute to diabetic microvascular complications

OSA: Background• Obstructive sleep apnea is a common medical disorder
that affects at least 4% of men and 2% of women. • It is characterized by instability of the upper airway
during sleep, which results in markedly reduced (hypopnea) or absent (apnea) airflow.
• Apnea/hypopnea episodes are usually accompanied with cyclical oxygen desaturations and cyclical changes in blood pressure and heart rate.
• OSA and type 2 diabetes (T2DM) share common risk factors such as age and obesity
![Page 7: Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) Predicts Microvascular Complications in Type 2 Diabetes](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062521/568168f3550346895ddffd9c/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Methods• Subjects were recruited randomly from the diabetes out-patient clinics of
a tertiary centre in the UK
• DPN was diagnosed using the Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument (MNSI). Retinopathy was graded using retinal photography. Nephropathy was assessed using eGFR and urine albumin/creatinine ratios
• OSA was assessed by an unattended home-based portable multi-channel respiratory device (Alice PDX, Philips Respironics, USA)
• An apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) ≥ 5 events/hour was the cut off to diagnose OSA. AHI ≥ 15 considered to be consistent with moderate to severe OSA
