I had undiagnosed obstructive sleep apnea for many years and these conditions may have been brought on by failure to get adequate oxygenated sleep.

At the time I was still trying to get exercise regularly but eventually heart irregularity, lung infections, and obesity did lead to type 2 diabetes.

Now with the sleep apnea diagnosed and treated, I am still experiencing all the other conditions but feeling better with a ventilator and o2 at night.

Just a note because the sleep problems are not always the first thing the MDs look for, and it could well be a contributor to Diabetes too.
