Sleep apnea is a condition where one stops breathing during sleep. The duration of the stoppage can last up to one minute or longer. And it adds up even more over the course of an entire night, which is incredibly dangerous. Just how dangerous can all of this get?

Today, we’re talking about Type 2 Diabetes

Here’s a quick statistical snapshot:

  • 48% of type 2 diabetics have sleep apnea
  • Obstructive sleep apnea may have an effect on the development of type 2 Diabetes.
  • Obstructive sleep apnea is associated with insulin resistance.
  • 30% of patients presented to a sleep clinic have impaired glucose intolerance
  • Mild forms of Sleep Disordered Breathing (SDB) may be important in predicting the risk of pre-diabetes.
  • 86% of obese type 2 diabetic patients suffer from sleep apnea.
