Breathing trouble at night could be fueling diabetes, study suggests
NCT ID NCT03695315
Summary
This study aimed to understand why people with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) have a higher risk of developing diabetes. Researchers compared 48 people with OSA, some who had low oxygen levels (hypoxia) and some who did not, to see if low oxygen caused more severe insulin resistance in the liver and fat tissue. They also tested if standard treatment with a CPAP breathing machine could improve the body's insulin sensitivity after about 12 weeks.
