The Revolving Circle of Diabetes, Sleep Apnea, and Obesity

The interplay between diabetes, obesity, and sleep apnea is widely acknowledged and cannot be ignored. While it may be unclear which condition is the root cause of the connection, it is evident that they are all interconnected and have a negative impact on each other.

This vicious cycle can be disheartening, but the good news is that there are various treatments and interventions available to help break this revolving door.
