Abstract

Both the quantity and quality of sleep are associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus; sleep has emerged as a novel target for prevention. In the current study, we aimed to assess insomnia and fatigue among patients with type 2 diabetes in Tabuk City, Saudi Arabia. A cross-sectional study conducted among 246 patients with type 2 diabetes during the period from March 2015 to June 2015, they were selected randomly from a diabetes center in Tabuk. Participants were invited to sign a written informed consent, then interviewed using a structured questionnaire based on socio-demographic data, failure to initiate and maintain sleep, non-restorative sleep, and fatigue. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences was used for data analysis; the Chi-square and Pearson correlation were used to test the statistical significance. Out of 246 patients with type 2 diabetes (54.1% females), aged 46.9±11.6 years, fatigue was evident in 23.5%. A significant statistical difference was observed in the HbA1C regarding failure to maintain sleep and duration of sleep P<0.05. No differences in the glycated hemoglobin regarding age, sex, duration of sleep, snoring, cough, dyspnea, failure to maintain sleep, and non-restorative sleep P>0.05. In conclusion: Patients with poor diabetes control had the failure to maintain sleep and longer duration of diabetes. Measures to implement good sleep hygiene among patients with type 2 diabetes are highly needed.
