High prevalence of sleep apnea and its association with autonomic dysfunction in Non-obese individuals with diabetes.

Sleep apnea (SA) was prevalent even in non-obese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and was associated with a reduced coefficient of variation of the R-R interval (CVRR), indicating autonomic dysfunction. These findings emphasize the importance of SA screening and management, particularly in non-obese T2DM patients with autonomic dysfunction.
