Glucose and arterial blood pressure variability in Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome.

Introduction: Current evidence supports an association between Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS), insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) and cardiovascular disorders. The relationship is complex and still remains poorly understood.

Aim: The aim of this study was to examine the potential correlation of sleep characteristics with glucose and arterial pressure values variability in non - diabetic, non-hypertensive patients with OSAS.
