Sleep Apnea's hidden danger: low oxygen may fuel diabetes risk
NCT ID NCT03695315
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how low oxygen levels (hypoxia) in people with obstructive sleep apnea affect the body's ability to use insulin. Researchers measured insulin resistance in the liver and fat tissue of 48 non-diabetic adults. The goal was to understand why some sleep apnea patients are more likely to develop diabetes.
