To Screen for Obstructive Sleep Apnoea in Type 2 Diabetes and its Correlation with Hscrp Levels and Microvascular Complications.

The prevalence of OSA is estimated to be 2-4% in the general population but high among diabetics. Since intermittent hypoxia has shown to exert adverse effects on glucose metabolism, OSA increases the risk of developing T2DM and contributes to poor glycemic control. Studies show that people with diabetes with severe OSA had higher HbA1c levels compared to non-apneic people.
