Sleep Apnoea May Worsen Diabetes
Sleep apnoea has been implicated in the onset and worsening of type 2 diabetes. A study has found that sleep apnoea directly affects the control of blood sugar levels which in effect worsens type 2 diabetes in the affected patients. Sleep apnoea causes a dangerous drop in blood oxygen levels due to paused breathing during sleep.
The biggest effect on blood sugar control in diabetics was noted when sleep apnoea episodes occurred during the rapid eye movement (REM) stage of sleep. According to Dr. Babak Mokhlesi, the author of the study, sleep apnoea patients will have removed their CPAP mask long before REM stage of sleep which happens just before waking.
