Nerve health and heart risks in diabetes with sleep apnea
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how problems with the nerves that help control your heart (called autonomic neuropathy) relate to future health problems in people who have both diabetes and sleep apnea, plus coronary heart disease. Researchers measure nerve function and track outcomes to see if nerve issues make things worse.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have coronary heart disease (a heart artery blockage seen on an angiogram).
- You have diabetes (confirmed by blood sugar or A1C tests).
- You have sleep apnea (at least 5 breathing pauses per hour during sleep).
- You cannot have a permanent pacemaker.
- You have not had a heart attack or stroke in the past 3 months.
- You are not pregnant, and you do not have severe thyroid, liver, kidney, or brain disease.

This study looks at how sleep apnea affects your heart and blood vessels over time. It uses a sleep study and heart tests to see if certain measurements can predict heart health changes.
This study looks at how sleep apnea affects blood sugar control in adults with type 1 diabetes. It may help researchers understand if treating sleep apnea improves diabetes management.
This trial studies whether using CPAP for sleep apnea changes how your body handles blood sugar in adults who do not have diabetes. You may be asked to sleep with CPAP and wear a continuous glucose monitor for testing.
This study looks at whether low oxygen levels during sleep (from obstructive sleep apnea) are linked to problems in the tiny blood vessels of the heart. If you are already scheduled for a heart test called a coronary angiogram, you may be able to join and help understand this connection.
This study looks at how your heart rate changes during sleep in people with severe sleep apnea compared to healthy people. It uses a simple overnight recording to measure your nervous system activity.
This study looks at how diabetes affects nerves, including those that control automatic functions like sweating and heart rate. Researchers will use ultrasound and electrical tests to check for nerve damage in people with diabetes, and compare results to healthy volunteers.
