Objective: Current guidelines suggest screening patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). However, there is no consensus regarding the optimal method for OSA risk assessment. We aimed to identify those with diabetes who are at high risk for OSA and investigate the concordance among questionnaires utilized in assessing high OSA risk. Method: STOP, STOP-BANG, and Berlin questionnaires for the assessment of the risk of OSA and the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) for an investigation of daytime sleepiness were utilized. Results: We included 108 patients, with a median HbA1c of 7.5%, a BMI of 30.7 kg/m², and waist and neck circumferences measuring 104.3 cm and 38.9 cm, respectively. On ESS, 10.2% of patients had excessive daytime sleepiness. According to Berlin (38.9%), the number of patients at high risk of OSA was found to be lower than that of in STOP (53.7%) and STOP-BANG (68.5%) questionnaires. For patients with a BMI
