Introduction: Many studies provided a positive relationship between Obstructive sleep apnea and diabetes mellitus type2. It has been revealed that almost one third of middle aged Saudi papulation are at risk for OSA. The aim of this study is to compare the risk of OSA between diabetic patients and non-diabetic middle aged Saudi population. Materials and Methods: This was a cross-sectional questionnaire-based study conducted in King Fahad hospital diabetes center in AL-Ahsaa, Saudi Arabia. Saudi patients aged 18 years and above with diabetes type 2 who visited the outpatient clinics in July and august 2015 where engaged in the study. Medical records were reviewed for demographic characteristics, weight, height, body mass index (BMI), blood pressure, glycated hemoglobin, and chronic medical conditions. Berlin questionnaire was used to assess the risk of OSA. Results: Based on berlin questionnaire, 45 out of 147 of sample (30.6%) are at high risk for OSA. 43.4% who have hypertension in high risk of OSA. Also, 33% of patients with BMI above or equal 25 are in high risk for OSA. There is no significant relation between age, gender and HA1C. Contrariwise, there is significant relation between presence of HTN and BMI above or equal 25 with increased risk for OSA. Conclusion: Hypertension, overweight and obesity contribute in high risk of OSA in diabetic patients. There is no difference between diabetic patients and middle aged Saudi population regarding the risk of OSA.
