    An association between sleep disordered breathing (SDB) and impaired glucose tolerance has been reported in adults.1 Although SDB has been reported in diabetic children,2 no data are available on glucose metabolism in children with SDB. We used glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) for the preliminary assessment of glucose metabolism in paediatric SDB patients.

    HbA1c was measured in 12 children aged 26–116 months (mean 63) with suspected SDB owing to adenotonsillar hypertrophy. Informed consent …
