In order to compare spirometric maneuvers in adults according to the presence of type 1 diabetes, a case-control study including 75 patients with type 1 diabetes and 75 controls matched by sex, age, and body mass index were designed. In addition, 75 patients with type 1 diabetes were added to examine the potential the impact of subcutaneous insulin therapy on pulmonary function. Lung function measurements were assessed according to the global initiative for chronic obstructive lung disease guidelines. Basal insulin included long-acting insulin analogues and the delivered background insulin in patients with pump therapy. Bolus insulin included rapid-acting insulin analogues and the delivered insulin to cover postprandial hyperglycemias. Patients with type 1 diabetes showed lower spirometric values in comparison to the control group, together with a higher prevalence of forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1) <80% (10.7% vs. 2.7%, p = 0.044) and restrictive ventilatory pattern (10.7% vs. 0%, p = 0.006) The dose of basal insulin (U/kg/day) showed a negative correlation with forced vital capacity (FVC) (r = −0.205, p = 0.012) and FEV1 (r = −0.182, p = 0.026). The optimal cut-off value for identifying patients with a restrictive spirometric pattern was 0.5 U/kg/day of basal insulin. Additionally, basal insulin (U/kg/day) independently predicted the presence of both a restrictive spirometric pattern (OR = 77.1 (3.2 to 1816.6), p = 0.007) and an abnormal FEV1 (OR = 29.9 (1.5 to 562.8), p = 0.023). In patients with type 1 diabetes, higher basal insulin dosage seems to be related with an impairment of pulmonary function. ; This work was partially supported by grants from the Instituto de Salud Carlos III (Fondo de Investigación Sanitaria PI12/00803, PI15/00260 and PI18/00964), and European Union (European Regional Development Fund, Fondo Europeo de Desarrollo Regional, "Una manera de hacer Europa"), and Menarini Spain S-A.

Type 2 diabetes leads to severe nocturnal hypoxemia, with an increase in apnea events and daytime sleepiness. Hence, we assessed sleep breathing parameters in the prediabetes stage. A cross-sectional study conducted on 966 middle-aged subjects without known pulmonary disease (311 patients with prediabetes and 655 controls with normal glucose metabolism) was conducted. Prediabetes was defined by glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), and a nonattended overnight home sleep study was performed. Participants with prediabetes (n = 311) displayed a higher apnea-hypopnea index (AHI: 12.7 (6.1;24.3) vs. 9.5 (4.2;19.6) events/h, p < 0.001) and hypopnea index (HI: 8.4 (4.0;14.9) vs. 6.0 (2.7;12.6) events/h, p < 0.001) than controls, without differences in the apnea index. Altogether, the prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea was higher in subjects with prediabetes than in controls (78.1 vs. 69.9%, p = 0.007). Additionally, subjects with prediabetes presented impaired measurements of the median and minimum nocturnal oxygen saturation, the percentage of time spent with oxygen saturations below 90%, and the 4% oxygen desaturation index in comparison with individuals without prediabetes (p < 0.001 for all). After adjusting for age, sex, and the presence of obesity, HbA1c correlated with the HI in the entire population (r = 0.141, p < 0.001), and the presence of prediabetes was independently associated with the AHI (B = 2.20 (0.10 to 4.31), p = 0.040) as well as the HI (B = 1.87 (0.61 to 3.14), p = 0.004) in the multiple linear regression model. We conclude that prediabetes is an independent risk factor for an increased AHI after adjusting for age, sex, and obesity. The enhanced AHI is mainly associated with increments in the hypopnea events. ; This work was supported by grants from the Lleida Provincial Council, AutonomousGovernment of Catalonia (2017SGR696 and SLT0021600250), Instituto de Salud Carlos III (Fondo deInvestigación Sanitaria PI12/00803, PI15/00260 and PI18/00964), and European Union (EuropeanRegional ...
