Table 4

Comparison of sleep-related data in 13 type 2 diabetes patients subdivided according to the presence of periodic limb movement disorder during sleep (PLMDs).

PLMDs	Yes, 𝑛=13	No, 𝑛=28	𝑃
Sleep efficiency, %	71±6	83±4	0.01
Non-REM slow wave, % sleep time	8±5	15±4	0.01
Arousal Index, n/h	17±4	9±3	0.01
PLM Index, n/h	28±7	15±8	0.01

Data presented as mean ± SD; level of significance 𝑃<0.05.
The parameters reported are only those which showed a statistically significant intergroup difference.
