One of the greatest challenges the world faces is diabetes. This chronic metabolic condition affects over 500 million people worldwide, and this number is predicted to increase. However, did you know that certain sleep disorders can increase the risk of diabetes? One such condition is sleep apnea and its connection with Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is often overlooked. This sets a dangerous precedent as millions of individuals who suffer from sleep apnea may develop T2D. As the global prevalence of diabetes continues to increase, it is crucial to understand this relationship to implement timely interventions.
