Trial summary

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and Type 2 diabetes are two frequent diseases that occur in adult population. The prevalence of OSA is higher in people with Type 2 diabetes compared with the general population7 ; in addition, the OSA syndrome is almost assessed in obese type 2 diabetes.

About this study

Official title: Prevalence of Sleep Apnea Syndrome in Patients With Type 1 Diabetes (APT1)

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and Type 2 diabetes are two frequent diseases that occur in adult population. The prevalence of OSA is higher in people with Type 2 diabetes compared with the general population7 ; in addition, the OSA syndrome is almost assessed in obese type 2 diabetes. The relationship between OSA and Type 2 diabetes has been well characterized: the OSA can contribute to increased insulin resistance or glucose intolerance; and, diabetes may worsen sleep-disordered breathing because of autonomic neuropathy8,9. The main link between OSA and Type 2 diabetes is central obesity, which triggers glucose intolerance/insulin resistance and is also an independent risk factor for OSA. Type 1 diabetes is generally not related to obesity; however, sleep-disordered breathing in these patients was described in few reports early as 1985 by pioneers such as Guilleminault5 and the prevalence of OSA is estimated at range 10 to 40% in type 1 diabetes patients. Few studies had evaluated the prevalence of sleep disorders in particular the sleep apnea syndrome in patients with type 1 diabetes and even less their influence on the glycemic control.

This study will take place at the CHU of Amiens-Picardie during a one-night hospitalization. The investigators will study in 44 type 1 diabetes mellitus (IAH apnea hypopnea index ≥15) who underwent polysomnography and continuous glucose monitoring of blood glucose

    All participants were admitted in sleep laboratory and screened for one night of 8 hours employing standard polysomnography (Brainnet System - Medatec) parameters : electroencephalogram, electro-oculogram, electromyogram [chin], continuous nasal airflow body position, thoracic and abdominal strain gauges, haemoglobin oxygen saturation (SaO2) with an oximeter (Medatec) attached to finger.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing standard polysomnography in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire, Amiens at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Nov 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome confirmed by polysomnography an apnea hypopnea Index ≥ 15 (time frame: 3 month). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 Nov 2025.
