Vascular Impairment in Type II Diabetes Mellitus With Co-morbid Obstructive Sleep Apnea

May 24, 2019 updated by: Sanjay R Patel

Vascular Impairment in Type II Diabetes Mellitus With Co-morbid Obstructive Sleep Apnea.

The investigators will examine the possible synergistic effects of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and type II diabetes mellitus (DM) on vascular functioning by performing a two-part investigation:

  • A cross-sectional study comparing subjects with OSA+DM, OSA only, DM only, and healthy controls.
  • A three-month randomized placebo-controlled trial of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in subjects with OSA+DM.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Active Comparator: Active CPAP
Therapeutic continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP).
CPAP at therapeutic pressure; ResMed S9 device in fixed pressure mode (Sydney, Australia).

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Absolute Change in Brachial Artery Flow-mediated Dilation (FMD).
Time Frame: 3 months (compared to baseline)
Brachial artery flow-mediated dilation is measured as the percent change in brachial artery diameter post-occlusion relative to pre-occlusion. The change in brachial artery flow mediated dilation is the difference in this percent change at 3-months compared to baseline.
