[QUOTE="Alexandra100, post: 1551347, member: 429870"] I have long suffered from sleep apnoeia, 50% obstructive and 50% central. The number of events gradually increased until during my last sleep test I was having 31.5 events per hour. This just brought me into the severe category and I am now trying to get used to a CPAP type ventilator, which can considerably reduce but not eliminate the events. Being very thin, active and devoted to what I considered a healthy diet I had no risk factors for type 2 except my age (75) and possibly anxiety, when in August my HbA1C test came out at 41. Since then it has ocurred to me that struggling against suffocation many times a night must be pretty stressful, and maybe it is this stress that is in part causing my glucose levels to rise. I'd be very interested to know if there are other people out there with sleep apnoeia AND diabetes. It seems a bit pointless struggling with one's diet if the main damage is being done overnight.
