Sleep Apnea, Obesity and Type @ Diabetes

Obesity definitely is a contributing factor to a sleep apnea condition. Weight loss will diminish it to a great effect. Type 2 diabetes is also associated with obesity which causes your BMI to climb and chances of hypertension to also develop. I have all three conditions and anyone who is obese and has sleep apnea may have several other comorbities such as ED, Bladder Urgency, Skin conditions, tingling in your lower extremities, etc. Our bodies are very complex and we need to exercise good stewardship in maintaining our health. I'm striving to work at weight loss management and healthy eating which I believe is key to all of the above.
