title: [Restless legs syndrome and diabetes mellitus: an accidental association?].
abstract: Although limited in number, several studies have documented an increased prevalence of Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) in type 2 diabetes. Polyneuropathy only partially explains the relation between the two disorders. This association could be due to the effects of a prolonged sleep loss: in increasing the probability of developing insulin-resistance and metabolic disturbances.
