About this trial

The purpose of the study is to investigate the role of sleep apnea in glycemic dysregulation in adults with Type 1 diabetes.

Type 1 Diabetes on insulin pump therapy and using a CGM device with an GMI (glucose management indicator) between 5.5 and 8.5% with hemoglobin in the normal range at screening

OSA by home sleep apnea test

Disqualifiers

Regular and adherent CPAP use per clinical guidelines

Requiring oxygen or advanced positive airway pressure modalities during sleep

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Glycemic variability

Glycemic variability will be calculated using a standard metric as percent coefficient of variation (% CV) of glucose values obtained from continuous glucose monitoring (CGM).

Time frame
