Diabetes and Sleep Apnea: A Comprehensive Guide for CPAP Users
Many CPAP users are unaware of the significant link between sleep apnea and diabetes, two chronic conditions that frequently coexist. Research shows that up to 83% of people with type 2 diabetes have obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), yet many cases go undiagnosed. Sleep apnea not only worsens blood sugar control but also increases insulin resistance and the risk of diabetic complications. On the other hand, diabetes-related nerve damage and obesity can exacerbate sleep-disordered breathing. This in-depth guide explains why CPAP therapy is crucial for diabetics with sleep apnea, how to optimize your treatment, and the key lifestyle changes needed to improve overall health.
