NCT01136785

Brief Summary

The overall goal of the proposed protocol is to rigorously test the hypothesis that CPAP treatment has beneficial effects on glycemic control in patients with both type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). If our hypothesis were to be proven, this would imply that CPAP treatment of OSA in patients with T2DM is an essential component of their glycemic control. The proposed work is thus expected to provide additional preventive and therapeutic approaches in the management of millions of patients with T2DM.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Change From Baseline to End of 7-day Intervention in Mean Plasma Glucose Derived From 24 Hour Blood Sampling

    24 hour blood sampling will be performed at baseline and at the end of the 7-day intervention. Glucose levels will be measured on each sample. Mean glucose level for all baseline samples will be calculated for each participant. Mean glucose levels for all samples collected at the end of the intervention will be calculated. Change in mean glucose level from baseline to end of intervention will be calculated for each participant.

    after 1 week of CPAP therapy in the laboratory

  • Change From Baseline in Mean Glucose From Continuous Interstitial Glucose Monitoring Over 36-40 Hours

    Continuous Glucose monitoring will provide interstitial glucose levels for 36-40 hours at baseline and after one week of active or sham CPAP therapy. The mean glucose level of all samples collected at baseline will be calculated for each participant. The mean glucose level of all samples collected at the end of the 7-day intervention will be calculated for each participant. For each participant, we will calculate the change in mean glucose level from baseline till end of the intervention.

    change in mean interstitial glucose after 1 week of active or sham CPAP therapy in the laboratory

  • Change in Mean Serum Insulin Derived From 24 Hour Blood Sampling

    Serum insulin levels will be measured on each sample collected during 24-h sampling at baseline and at the end of the 7-day intervention. Mean insulin level over 24 hours will be calculated for each participant at baseline and at the end of the intervention. For each participant, we will calculate the change in mean insulin level from baseline.

    after 1 week of therapy in the laboratory

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Change in Mean Plasma Cortisol Level From 24-h Sampling

    after 1 week of active CPAP therapy in the laboratory

  • 24-hr Profile of Plasma Growth Hormone

    after 1 week of active CPAP therapy in the laboratory

  • Change in 24-h Mean Level of Plasma Norepinephrine

    after 1 week of active CPAP therapy in the laboratory

Limitations and Caveats

One limitation of the study is that two subjects assigned to sham CPAP received defective sham devices that delivered therapeutic pressure.
