FAST FACTS

Sleep apnoea and diabetes

Research shows that up to 83 per cent of people living with type 2 diabetes have undiagnosed sleep apnoea. Having type 2 diabetes and

untreated sleep apnoea increases the risk

of developing sight-threatening

diabetic retinopathy.

Losing just 5 per cent of your body weight can stop sleep apnoea getting worse and may even cure it,

long term.
