People are getting addicted to the mobile phone because they get many opportunities by using it. Cell phones have many advantages, but there are also disadvantages. The possible health hazards of a mobile phone can be divided into two groups: thermal effect and non-thermal effect. Certain waveforms can be used to restore health in certain mental illnesses such as depression, insomnia, etc. This shows that the waves can affect the nervous system of people. Our work aimed to investigate and analyze the relationship between mobile phone use and sleep quality in patients with type 2 diabetes. For retrospective analysis of medical records, 71 patients with type 2 diabetes were included, and the BMI of these patients was calculated. The next stage of our research was a telephone survey to assess the quality of mobile phone use behavior. The level of daytime sleepiness was assessed according to the Epworth questionnaire. Data analysis showed that in patients with T2DM, systolic blood pressure and BMI did not depend on the age of the patients. At the same time, a predominance of men with T2DM was established, both mature and elderly. When comparing the studied indicators of patients with T2DM of different ages depending on the duration of mobile phone use, it was established that the systolic blood pressure, age, and BMI were probably higher in mature patients with a duration of mobile phone use of more than 8 years compared to the data of patients who have been using the phone for 5-8 years. At the same time, the age of patients and SAT among the elderly group was probably higher in patients with a term of use of more than 8 years compared to those who have been using a mobile phone for 5-8 years. Patients with T2DM have moderate (14.08%) and severe (77.47%) daytime sleepiness. A significantly higher percentage of mature and elderly T2DM patients who used a phone for more than 8 years was established, compared to the indicators in the group with a duration of 5-8 years of phone use, which in the case of mature age was associated with a significantly higher level of systolic blood pressure and BMI.
