Have you had a new sleep study in the past 18 months? Your pressure needs may have changed. I am not diabetic, but inadequately treated sleep apnea can have adverse effects on many other conditions. To my mind, an autopap where the user can monitor their own nightly data is the ideal way to keep themselves informed on their own sleep issues. I've had an autopap for four years now and would not trade it for anything. My pressure needs vary throughout the year depending on my allergies and mild asthma. Usually it hangs around 13 but has run as low as 10 to 11 and recently, during our Southern Calif fires, was running 15+ for a short time.

In any event, if you haven't had a recent sleep study, this may be the time to talk to your doctor about a new one. And think about getting an autopap.
