SLEEP RESPIRATORY EVENTS IN PATIENTS WITH TYPE 1 DIABETES: ROLE OF COMPENSATION OF CARBOHYDRATE METABOLISM

The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of compensation of carbohydrate metabolism on the values of respiratory events during the night in patients with type 1 diabetes. By using the polysomnographic monitoring, daily monitoring of blood glucose it was found out that central sleep apnea was more common in patients in the stage of decompensation, obstructive sleep apnea more often occurred in patients with compensated diabetes; sleep apnea altered the duration of the phases and stages of sleep; high levels of blood glucose before bedtime and low values of glucose during sleeptime reduced blood oxygen saturation.
