Message: <blockquote data-quote="seans69" data-source="post: 1953642" data-attributes="member: 497920">HiI was diagnosed with diabetes in 2010 at the same time as being told that I had Obstuctive Sleep Apnea. It is a misconception that only extremely overweight people have OSA. The two conditions can run hand in hand with each other. Before treatment I would fall asleep at any time. I was continually tired and when I fell asleep at traffic lights I decided to seek help from my doctor. I would ask your partner or a member of your family to watch you sleep for a while. If you are snoring heavily the chances are there will be periods when your breathing will stop. This could be what is making you so tired. If left untreated diabetes could worsen. When I was diagnosed with OSA I was tested for diabetes at the same time due to the link between them. I am a male and at the time I was 5’9” and 11 stone. So I wasn’t overweight and had a good BMI</blockquote>
