A study finds that parameters of obstructive sleep apnea are associated with diabetic neuropathy and estimated glomerular filtration rate in type 2 diabetes, reports Healio.

Each stage of diabetic neuropathy was associated with increasing parameters of obstructive sleep apnea with several persisting after adjustment. Using logistic regression analysis, researchers found that oxygen saturation and CT90% were associated with microalbuminuria; CT90% and CT85% were associated with macroalbuminuria; oxygen desaturation index, oxygen saturation and CT85% were associated with renal insufficiency.
