DOTT: Diabetes-Obstructive Sleep Apnea Treatment Trial
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Diabetes self-management is important to help adults with type 2 diabetes achieve glucose control. Obstructive sleep apnea often co-exists with type 2 diabetes and may act as a barrier to diabetes self-management and glucose control. We will examine if treatment of obstructive sleep apnea with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), combined with diabetes education, results in improved diabetes self-management and glucose control.

Detailed Description
While diabetes self-management has been improved and refined over the last 30 years, many persons with T2DM continue to have difficulty in achieving glycemic goals. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has a high prevalence among adults with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and is associated with excessive daytime sleepiness, impaired mood, decreased vigilance, and reduced functional outcomes. The degree that OSA affects diabetes self-management, a known determinant of glycemic control, remains unstudied.
The most effective treatment for OSA, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), results in improved self-reported daytime functioning. However, the effect of CPAP treatment on reception of diabetes education remains unknown. The underlying premise of the proposed study from this new investigator is that OSA hinders diabetes self-management in adults with T2DM.
Our goal is to improve understanding of the effect of OSA on diabetes self-management and to determine the efficacy of CPAP treatment in improving diabetes outcomes in adults treated with CPAP compared to those on sham-CPAP. Expanding our understanding of the effect of sleep disturbances on diabetes self-management may lead to improved guidelines for screening and treatment of OSA in the increasingly large portion of the population with diabetes
Study Design
Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Active CPAP treatment Treatment of obstructive sleep apnea with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) |
Device: CPAP
CPAP is a device that has a mask worn over the nose that is attached to a device that provides positive airway pressure. CPAP is worn while sleeping, it splints open the airway and prevent apneas (cessation of breathing) and hypopneas (reduced airflow while breathing).
Other Names:
Behavioral: Diabetes Education
Diabetes Education will be delivered to participants in both the CPAP group and the Sham-CPAP group. The education will be based on ADA and AADE guidelines and consist of 2 in-person sessions (90 minutes and 60 minutes) and 3 follow-up phone calls 9about 15 minutes each)
|
Placebo Comparator: Sham-CPAP Device that appears like the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea, a continuous positive airway pressure device, but that does not provide treatment. |
Device: CPAP
CPAP is a device that has a mask worn over the nose that is attached to a device that provides positive airway pressure. CPAP is worn while sleeping, it splints open the airway and prevent apneas (cessation of breathing) and hypopneas (reduced airflow while breathing).
Other Names:
Device: Sham-CPAP
Sham-CPAP is a device that has a mask worn over the nose that is attached to a device that looks and sounds like CPAP however it does not provide positive airway pressure. Sham-CPAP is worn while sleeping, it does not splint open the airway and prevent apneas (cessation of breathing) and hypopneas (reduced airflow while breathing).

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- HbA1C Level [baseline, 6 weeks, 12 weeks]
Glycated hemoglobin test that estimates the blood glucose level over last 2 to 3 months. Higher scores indicate worse diabetes control.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Fructosamine Level [baseline, 6 weeks, 12 weeks]
Measurement of glucose in plasma that estimates the blood glucose level over last 10 days to 3 weeks. The normal range is from 221.00 to 451.00.
- Diabetes Diet Adherence [baseline, 6 weeks, 12 weeks]
Diabetes Diet Adherence score from the Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities (SDSCA) Questionnaire, Average number of days each week that was adherent to diabetes diet, range from minimum=0 days to maximum=7 days; higher number indicates better adherence to diabetes diet
- Diabetes Knowledge [baseline,12 weeks only]
Score on the Diabetes Knowledge Test. Scores range minimum=0 to maximum=100, higher scores indicate higher knowledge (this measure only done at 12 weeks)
- Self-Monitoring of Blood Glucose (SMBG) [baseline, 6 weeks, 12 weeks]
SMBG score from the Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities (SDSCA) Questionnaire, Average number of days each week that SMBG was done, range from 0 days to 7 days; higher number indicates better SMBG
- Steps Walked [baseline, 6 weeks, 12 weeks]
Average number of steps walked daily; measured by BodyMedia Armband; higher numbers indicate more steps walked. The range is from 397.83 to 16839.00.
- Self-Monitoring of Foot Care [baseline, 6 weeks, 12 weeks]
Foot Care score from the Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities (SDSCA) Questionnaire, Average number of days each week that foot care was done, range from 0 days to 7 days; higher number indicates better adherence to foot care
- Diabetes-Related Distress [baseline, 6 weeks, 12 weeks]
Score of the Problem Areas in Diabetes (PAID) Questionnaire; scores range from 0-100, higher scores indicate worse diabetes-related distress.
- Sleep Quality [baseline, 6 weeks, 12 weeks]
Sleep Quality is measured by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) - Higher scores indicate worse sleep quality. The potential range is from 0 to 27 with higher scores indicating worse sleep quality.
- Mood [baseline, 6 weeks, 12 weeks]
Mood impairment measured by the Profile of Mood States (POMS) total score; potential scores range from 0 to 60; higher scores indicate worse mood.
- Vigilance [Administered during diabetes education sessions done within the first 6 weeks of study; baseline, approximately 3 weeks after starting CPAP, and at the 2nd diabetes education session]
Ability to maintain attention (i.e. vigilance); Measured by the Psychomotor Vigilance Test primary metric being transformed lapses (i.e. when person does not respond to a visual stimuli in a reaction time test). Normal values are <=2 lapses within the 10 minute test. Higher scores indicate worse vigilance.

Study Results
Participant Flow
Recruitment Details | Participants recruitment started in 2014 and the last participant was evaluated in 2019. The total sample screened (N=862) was from the University of Pittsburgh (n=720), Veterans Administration Pittsburgh Healthcare System (n=58), West Virginial University (n=72), and the John Dingell Detroit Veterans Administration Healthcare System (n=12). |
---|---|
Pre-assignment Detail | Phone assessment excluded persons with prior CPAP use, not having diagnosis of type 2 diabetes, history of a sleepiness related accident or near miss, or not ambulatory. Participants (n=355) who met the phone screening were invited for a baseline assessment. The baseline assessment excluded persons with HbA1c either < 6.5% or > 11%; without OSA, with too high a AHI or severe oxygen desaturations, or not interested in being randomized to sham-CPAP. 98 participants meet all eligibility criteria. |

Diabetes Education: Diabetes Education will be delivered to participants in both the CPAP group and the Sham-CPAP group. The education will be based on ADA and AADE guidelines and consist of 2 in-person sessions (90 minutes and 60 minutes) and 3 follow-up phone calls 9about 15 minutes each) |
