Perhaps I should have looked more at this before I posted.
In doing a google search- glucose levels apnea- I found there was a very clear connection of PAP to goucose levels.
They are very much lowered with PAP.
I do not think there was anything curative here, but there is a very clear beneficial relationship here.
Just got a call from my docs office on some blood work. Evidently my PAP is not doing enough for my diabetes- he wants me to see an endocrinologist for this and triglycerides.
My extra 100 pounds and smoking probably does not help either.
OH well.......
