[QUOTE="ButtterflyLady, post: 936835, member: 43498"] Some people with sleep apnoea are aware of their awakenings but most aren't. Unless someone tells them they snore and stop breathing for short periods then gasp, they can go for years without knowing there is a problem with their sleep. Some of the common symptoms are excessive daytime sleepiness, fatigue, headache first thing in the morning, needing to get up during the night to urinate, increased appetite, and difficulty concentrating. There is a screening test, in the form of a short quiz, that many doctors use. If the questions don't ring much of a bell for you then you might be ok: [URL]http://epworthsleepinessscale.com/1997-version-ess/[/URL] I too struggled with whether to focus on diabetes or weight at first. I have found that if I reduce carbs and see my blood sugars go down, the weight just falls off. I believe you can get back to 90kg. Probably lower if you want to and it's appropriate for your height. You can do it! You are on the right track. [/QUOTE]
