The differences in the relationship between obstructive sleep apnea severity and trabecular bone score in men and women with type 2 diabetes.

Aims: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) may adversely affect bone. Gender is a well-established factor influencing bone health. We investigated the impact of OSA on bone mineral density (BMD) and trabecular bone score (TBS) in T2DM.

Relationship between depression, sleep quality, and hypoglycemia among persons with type 2 diabetes.

Objective: We analyzed two cohorts of people with type 2 diabetes to evaluate the relationships between depression, sleep quality, and history of hypoglycemia.

Research Design And Methods: Two adult cohorts from Chicago (n = 193) and Bangkok, Thailand (n = 282) with type 2 diabetes completed questionnaires to assess sleep quality, depressive symptoms, and hypoglycemia frequency. Proportional odds logistic regression models for each cohort adjusted for duration of therapy, insulin and sulfonylurea management, and other factors.

Evaluation of Dietary Intakes and Nutritional Knowledge in Thai Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

Introduction: Most nutritional guidelines for diabetes management emphasize the importance of having individualized goals, away from a one-size-fits-all approach. However, there is a dearth of information on the dietary intakes and nutritional knowledge of Thai patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This study is aimed at clarifying dietary intakes in relationship to glycemic control and at examining nutritional knowledge among Thai patients with T2DM.

Lack of associations between thyroid function and obstructive sleep apnea severity in adults with prediabetes and diabetes mellitus.

Purpose: Hypothyroidism is associated with a high frequency of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). However, the prevalence of OSA in hypothyroid patients is not different from the general population in many reports. The importance of thyroid function screening in sleep-disordered breathing is still controversial.

More evening preference is positively associated with systemic inflammation in prediabetes and type 2 diabetes patients.

Currently it is not known whether morningness-eveningness preference in non-night shift working population is associated with systemic inflammation. This study investigated the relationship between morningness-eveningness and systemic inflammation, as measured by high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) in 163 non-night shift working patients with abnormal glucose tolerance (86 type 2 diabetes and 77 prediabetes). Morningness-eveningness was assessed by Composite Scale of Morningness, and participants were screened for Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
