About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Type 2 Diabetes focused on measuring slow wave sleep, exenatide and sleep

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with a diagnosis of T2DM based on physician documentation according to established guidelines will be eligible.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with unstable cardiac, neurological or psychiatric disease
  • Women who are pregnant or report trying to get pregnant will be excluded.
  • Patients treated for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) will be excluded.
  • Patients with established OSA will be included only if they have declined treatment of OSA.
  • Patients with morbid obesity (BMI ≥ 40 gk/m2)
  • Patients on insulin
  • Patients already taking an incretin-based drug will not be included
  • Patients with renal disease (creatinine clearance <30 ml/min), gastroparesis and history of pancreatitis will also be excluded based on known possible adverse medication side effects.
  • Patients taking an insulin secretagogue will be excluded.
  • Patients with Hemoglobin A1c values greater than or equal to 10 will be excluded.

Arm 2

Arm Type

Placebo Comparator

Experimental

Arm Label

Usual T2 DM med regimen

Usual T2 DM med regimen plus Exenatide

Arm Description

Subjects will continue on Type 2 DM therapy but will add placebo injected subcutaneously twice daily to their regimen for a total of 6 weeks.

Subjects will continue on Type 2 DM therapy but will add injectable exenatide to their regimen There will be twice daily treatment with subcutaneous injections of 5 µg of Exenatide for 2 weeks followed by 4 weeks of treatment with twice daily subcutaneous injections of 10 µg of Exenatide.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Non-REM Slow Wave Sleep
Total minutes of non-REM sleep was measured
Total Amount of Slow Wave Activity
Total amount of slow wave activity during sleep derived from laboratory polysomnogram was measured

Secondary Outcome Measures

Sleep Efficiency During Polysomnographic Recording
Sleep efficiency will be calculated as total sleep time over total recording time.
Minutes of Wake After Sleep Onset During Sleep Recording
total amount of time spent awake after sleep onset and before morning awakening will be calculated
Severity of Obstructive Sleep Apnea
The apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) will be calculated from polysomnographic recordings. The minimum score for AHI is 0 (zero), corresponding to total absence of apnea or hypopnea. There is no theoretical maximum score although scores above 100 are very rarely observed. The lower the AHI value, the better. Higher AHI values correspond to greater severity of sleep apnea, a worse outcome. There are no subscales. We use continuous AHI values to measure severity of obstructive sleep apnea.
Mean 24-h Blood Glucose Levels
Mean plasma levels of glucose will be calculated from samples collected across the 24-h cycle.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The investigators propose a pilot study to test the novel hypothesis that Exenatide treatment in patients with type 2 diabetes results in improved sleep duration and quality and to explore the relationship between improvements in sleep and measures of metabolic and circadian function. This project would be the first to probe the relationship between incretin hormone regulation, duration and intensity of sleep, glucose tolerance and circadian dysfunction in diabetic patients.
