About this trial
The aim of the second and third year is to construct the "Care model of improving for overweight or obese T2DM with OSA" based on the transtheoretical model, and to import an interactive m-health self-management (m-Health My OSA Coach; MOSAC)" cloud platform to examine the effectiveness of OSA in T2DM participants. A randomized controlled trial study design will be adopted. Eligible OSA participants who have been screened for OSA following the first stage will be invited to the second stage. The participants will be randomly divided into either experimental or control group with 1:1 ratio. The total duration of intervention program is 6 months. Only the experimental group receives the MOSAC intervention.

an interactive m-health self-management
BehavioralDescription: The experimental group will undergo a lifestyle intervention based on the Transtheoretical Model (TTM), utilizing the MOSAC cloud platform. This intervention focuses on self-management to facilitate behavior changes aimed at weight loss and improving Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) of T2DM patients. Key components include self-monitoring, tracking, real-time feedback, and customized weight loss plans, all enhanced by gamification features. The intervention emphasizes a healthy approach to weight loss, promoting a balanced diet, moderate calorie reduction, and increased physical activity, such as step counts. Each stage of the intervention outlines specific objectives, processes, and measures for achieving behavioral change and supporting healthy weight loss.
In the control group
BehavioralDescription: In the control group, standard medical care will continue to be provided along with written educational pamphlets on weight loss and sleep hygiene. The interactive m-health cloud platform will not be offered. However, the results of the three questionnaires administered to each participant will be individually explained, and any questions will be addressed immediately. After the activity concludes, participants may choose to receive the same intervention as the experimental group, if they wish.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
The primary outcome measure is the change in AHI (times/hour) detected by a home-use portable sleep monitor.
AHI is represented by the number of apnea and hypopnea events per hour of sleep. In this study, OSA was defined as the value of AHI greater than 5 events/ hr. In addition, participants were determined as having mild, moderate, and severe OSA if they had AHI 5-14 events /hr, 15-30 events /hr, and \> 30 events /hr, respectively (Jonas et al., 2017).
Secondary outcomes
The secondary outcome measures include changes in OSA-related factors such as HbA1c, BMI, sleep quality, daytime sleepiness, depression, and health-promoting lifestyle.
The secondary outcome measures include changes in OSA-related factors including (1) HbA1c in percentage (%), (2)weight in kilogram, (3)height in meters, (4) weight and height will be combined to report BMI( kg/m\^2), (5) Pittsburgh's Sleep Quality Index was used to examine sleep quality. The total score ranges from 0 to 21, high scores indicated a poor sleep, (6) Epworth Sleep Scale was used to assess the severity of participants' sleepiness while performing daily activities, the total score ranges from 0 to 24 points, higher scores indicated a higher chance of dozing, (7)Taiwanese Depression Questionnaire was used to assess depression, a total score ranged from 0 to 54 points, higher scores indicated a sever level of depression, (8) Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile was used to examine participants' health-promoting lifestyle behavior, the total score ranges from 24 to 96 points, higher scores on individual indicated a higher level of engagement in health-promoting behaviors.
