Study Summary

A previous pilot study on the use of self neck grasp, ESAP (Easy Sleep Apnea Predictor), showed a positive maneuver (unable to wrap hands completely around neck) to be 100% predictive of sleep apnea in a sleep clinic population. The investigators now would like to compare ESAP to other tests used to diagnose and screen for Sleep Apnea in type 2 diabetics. The tests will included Home Sleep Testing, sleep questionnaires Berlin and STOP-BANG and polysomnogram (PSG). Patients with type 2 diabetes in the Bassett Endocrine Clinic who are scheduled for a routine evaluation will be recruited to undergo; a Home Sleep Test along with two sleep questionnaires PSG. The screen test wil be compared to the results of the gold standard diagnostic test the PSG for their predictive value os OSA in the type 2 diabetic population.

Primary Outcome

The ESAP measures a participant's ability to wrap their own hands around their neck, touching thumb to thumb, middle finger to middle finger. A "positive" test (unable to reach around the neck with fingers) would be indicative of the presence of OSA.

Interventions

  • OTHER polysomnogram
  • OTHER home sleep test
  • OTHER Easy Sleep Apnea Predictor
