OSA is prevalent among patients with type II DM
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has been reported to be common (prevalence ranged from 23-86%) in previous studies involving Caucasian diabetic patients. The investigators aim at finding out the prevalence of OSA in Chinese diabetic patients and identify the clinical predictors associated with OSA. Recruited subjects will undergo overnight polysomnography, anthropometric measurements, blood tests including glycosylated hemoglobin, renal function, glucose level, blood pressure measurement both during the clinic visit and after admission for in-laboratory sleep study.

177
Queen Mary Hospital

presence of OSA
The diagnosis of OSA will be confirmed with polysomnography
Time frame: measured at a single time point during the recruitment period(2007-08), by polysomnography
severity of OSA
The severity of OSA will be assessed in terms of apnea hypopnea index, minimal oxygen saturation, duration of desaturation, arousal index during polysomnography
Time frame: measured at a single time point during the recruitment period(2007-08), by polysomnography
glycemic control
by measuring glycosylated hemoglobin, blood glucose level
Time frame: measured at a single time point, when the subjects were admitted for polysomnography (during 2007-08)
