Forty patients with diabetes mellitus (7 with insulin-dependent and 33 with noninsulin-dependent condition) were examined in order to elucidate the factors contributing to development of sleep-related breathing disturbances (SKBD). Relationship between SRBD and features and complications of diabetes is studied. Special attention was paid to the role of the peripheral autonomic insufficiency in the development of these disorders in diabetics. We failed to detect a reliable correlation between the presence and severity of SRBD and autonomic regulation and other neurologic or vascular complications of diabetes. Age, body weight, and type of fatty tissue distribution affect the development of SRBD in diabetics, similarly as in the general population.
