    Abstract:
    The group of 30 patients with OSA and diabetes type I or II has been examined. After the first test with MESAM 4, 5 patients with considerable nocturnal desaturation and heart rate disorders during sleep have been found. All diabetes type II. Two polisomnographic studies (the first diagnostic polisomnography and the second study for the settlement of treatment with CPAP) have been performed in the patients. After 6 months of applying CPAP all the patients have been examined again. The apnoea index was decreased (from 87.5 to 11.2) and a better control of both systemic arterial pressure and glycaemia, saturation > 80% has been obtained.
