Difficulty falling or staying asleep are considered sleep disorders, and these are common among people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity. The presence of sleep disorders may cause poor glycemic control among this population. We therefore designed this study to assess sleep disorders among patients with T2DM and obesity.
This cross-sectional study examined the prevalence of sleep disorders in 148 patients with T2DM and obesity at a hospital in Taif, Saudi Arabia using a validated questionnaire.
Among those patients who have been involved in this study, we found a moderate level of sleep disorders and disturbances. The average sleep disorder assessment score for the patients with T2DM and obesity was 2.8 ± 1.4. Additionally, the average score for the sleep pattern assessment was 2.7 ± 1.3 and 2.9 ± 1.5 for symptoms of lack of sleep. Our study also revealed that those patients also had suboptimal weight and glycemic control.
These findings demonstrate that patients with T2DM and obesity are at a higher risk of developing sleep disorders. Therefore, these patients need to be screened for sleep disorders to avoid further diabetes-related complications and to have an early lifestyle intervention.
入睡困难或睡眠维持困难被视为睡眠障碍，在2型糖尿病（T2DM）患者和肥胖人群中很常见。睡眠障碍的存在可能导致该人群血糖控制不佳。因此，我们设计了这项研究来评估T2DM和肥胖患者中的睡眠障碍情况。
这项横断面研究使用经过验证的问卷，对沙特阿拉伯塔伊夫市一家医院的148例T2DM和肥胖患者的睡眠障碍患病率进行了调查。
在参与本研究的患者中，我们发现睡眠障碍和干扰处于中等水平。T2DM和肥胖患者的平均睡眠障碍评估得分为2.8±1.4。此外，睡眠模式评估的平均得分为2.7±1.3，睡眠不足症状的平均得分为2.9±1.5。我们的研究还表明，这些患者的体重和血糖控制也不理想。
这些发现表明，T2DM和肥胖患者发生睡眠障碍的风险更高。因此，需要对这些患者进行睡眠障碍筛查，以避免进一步的糖尿病相关并发症，并尽早进行生活方式干预。
