Detailed Description

Research over the last decade has shown that obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common condition in people with diabetes. Observational and experimental evidence also indicates that intermittent hypoxemia and recurrent arousals in OSA may alter glucose metabolism and worsen glycemic control. However, the impact of treating OSA with positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy on glycemic variability and control is not well defined. Adequately powered randomized clinical trials have yet to be performed to demonstrate whether PAP therapy for OSA in diabetics can improve glycemic variability (and control), decrease blood pressure, and reverse endothelial dysfunction. The overarching goal of this study is to determine whether PAP therapy for OSA in diabetics leads to improvements in (a) glycemic variability as assessed by self-monitoring of blood glucose and continuous monitoring of glucose; (b) glycosylated hemoglobin; (c) blood pressure; (d) endothelial function; (e) serum and urinary biomarkers; and (f) dyslipidemia.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in Continuous Glucose Monitoring System Standard Deviation
Time Frame: Baseline and 3 months
Continuous Glucose Monitoring Metrics - change in standard deviation between baseline and three months.
Baseline and 3 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Mean Difference in Systolic Blood Pressure
Time Frame: Baseline and 3 months
Mean difference between 3 months and baseline systolic blood pressures (in mmHg) by group.
Baseline and 3 months
Change in Endothelial Dysfunction as Assessed by the Reactive Hyperemic Index
Time Frame: Baseline and 3 months
Endothelial function was measured by the EndoPAT device - difference at 3 months - baseline, by group. The outcome reported is the Reactive Hyperemic Index (RHI). The RHI is a measure of endothelial vasodilator function. The RHI is the post-to-pre occlusion peripheral arterial tone signal ratio in the occluded arm relative to the other arm, which is not occluded. Persons with worse endothelial function have a lower RHI score. Consequently, a low RHI indicates more endothelial dysfunction. A value of 1.67 or less is considered abnormal vascular tone. The reported lower and upper limits in adults with type 2 diabetes is 1.1 - 4.9.
Baseline and 3 months
Heart Rate Variability
Time Frame: 3 months
3 months
Change in the Epworth Sleepiness Scale
Time Frame: Baseline and 3 months
The Epworth Sleepiness Scale measures self-reported sleep propensity or daytime sleepiness. The range of the scale is 0 to 24 (integers only), with increasing values corresponding to increasing sleepiness. A cut-point of ≥ 11 is also sometimes used to differentiate those with pathological sleepiness (≥ 11) versus those without < 11. The difference between the three month final visit - the baseline visit score is reported by group
Baseline and 3 months
Change in Post-Pre Meal Blood Glucose Levels
Time Frame: Baseline and 3 months
The difference from baseline to three months in self-reported in blood glucose levels before and after meals (mg/dL) (post-meal - pre-meal). Data is presented for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Baseline and 3 months
Change in Glycosylated Hemoglobin A1c Level
Time Frame: Baseline and 3 months
Change in point-of-care hemoglobin A1c (%) after three months.
Baseline and 3 months
Continuous Glucose Monitoring System Mean Amplitude Glucose Excursion
Time Frame: 3 months
Mean Amplitude Glucose Excursion in mg/dL (difference between the peaks and troughs of glucose from continuous glucose monitoring at three months).
3 months
Continuous Glucose Monitoring System Standard Deviation
Time Frame: 3 months
The standard deviation of the glucose from continuous glucose monitoring at three months.
3 months
Change in Continuous Glucose Monitoring System Mean Glucose
Time Frame: Baseline and 3 months
Continuous Glucose Monitoring Metric - change in average glucose level (mg/dL) from baseline to three months.
Baseline and 3 months
