Sleep apnea is a
very common health problem where people have sleep interrupted with periods of
snoring and erratic breathing. We have known for quite some time that sleep
apnea is associated with high blood pressure. Now, a new study from Dublin,
Ireland, has made the association between sleep apnea and diabetes. The study
looked at 8,000 people and found an association. One of the most important
points is if you’re someone who has sleep apnea, or suspects that you might, it
is worth getting a complete physical and clearly be evaluated for diabetes.
