Sleep Quality and its Correlation with Glycosylated Hemoglobin Level among Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Abstract

Aim: The aim was to assess the sleep quality and its correlation with glycosylated hemoglobin level among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Background: A systematic review and meta-analysis on impact of sleep amount and sleep quality on glycemic control, including 70,000 type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with 20 studies, revealed that there was 23% increase in HbA1c level in patients who reported insufficient sleep duration < 0.01) between sleep quality and glycosylated hemoglobin level among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Out of seven domains in PSQI scale, six domains had positive correlation with glycosylated hemoglobin level. Conclusion: It can be concluded that it is imperative to assess sleep in all patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus to identify and address poor glycemic control and this can, in turn, help to improve the quality of life of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus
