Type 2 Diabetes, Glaucoma, and Obstructive Sleep Apnea.
Question:
Thanks, I post on the stationery Newsgroup and sometimes forget what text I have<G Nope not having Hot Flashes…going to bed a little late and waking up way to early. I have Aldostroism, which makes my body loose to much potassium. They did a Cortisol test on me, that was another reason I knew the name. We just sold our house and trying to get our new one ready to move into….that may be a big reason for no sleep 
Jacquie – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Jacquie… when we don’t get enough sleep, it’s harder to rise in the morning, causing more hormonal activity to get us going, and that’s when the cortisol (thanks…. that’s the word) kicks in at a much higher level than when we are fully rested… ergo higher bg…. as to the meno…. why are you only getting 4 hrs sleep? those dam*** hot flashes that wake you up every 3-4 hours? my dr told me that doesn’t happen (odd… it does with me) k ps, i turned off the rich text and put this back to plain text…. under tools…. I think it is Cortasol(sp). I remember when I was first diagnosed I had higher morning readings and I questioned my Internist about it, and he said it has to do with cortisol…but he didn’t say anything about lack of sleep. Jacquie/who has had four hours of sleep each night for the last 4 nites…Menopause,maybe??? Yes…. that’s why sleep is so important to diabetics…. and here i go without the documentation again, but i remember reading something about the body producing its own hormone like cortisone when it doesn’t get enough sleep….. hence higher bg readings in the am…. anyone out there remember/know what the "real" hormone is? my memory is getting worse as time goes on…. dam** k I too have to use the CPAP and was wondering if any diabetics out there have noticed a change in how their BG’s read in the morning? I have been Type 2 for 6 years and on CPAP for 5 yrs, 10 months. The only time my BG’s are affected is if I try to sleep without it. Not only do I feel like death warmed over in the morning, my morning numbers are way up.

Response:
well, I don’t have glaucoma, and I’m not sure if I’m type1 or type2, but I definetly have diabetes, and have also had sleep apnea for a few years. I get to wear this exciting and fashionable device on my head while I sleep so I can keep my airway open while I sleep. what did you want to know?
Hey another CPAP’er…

I’m a type 2 (10 years) and have OSA and use a CPAP(2 1/2 years) and have had no difference in my BS’s. Have you been to the sleep disorders group? It’s alt.support.sleep-disorder
Wow…I didn’t realize that there were so many CPAP’ers here. And I didn’t know about a NG either!

If there is anyone out there who’s a Type 2 is also dealing with Glaucoma and/or Obstructive Sleep Apnea, I’d appreciate hearing from you. Thanks!
I am a Type 2 with OSA. I have been on a CPAP for 4 1/2 years now.

My brother in law has sleep apnea – he originally had a tracheotomy – but that was closed recently and now he wears a quite complex adaptive device when he sleeps. His doctor told him if he lost 50 lbs he would not have sleep apnea , but he persists in overeating and not exercising. I think he really doesn’t care. He is age 45 and has had health problems all of his life – some real and many imagined. I think apnea is not common to type II’s as much as it is common to overweight persons in general – which also makes them more prone to diabetes.

I don’t recall diabetes being a significant risk factor for glaucoma. -MT

Where’s Big Al when we need him? He was a Type 2 with sleep apnea, and, I believe, used the CPAP? Any have his e-mail address?

It can certainly be a factor in the development of neovascular glaucoma, which I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy, btw. I think I did read something somewhere that said it can be a contributing factor to glaucoma, but, relatively braindead humanoid that I am, I can’t remember where. If I find it in my travels, I’ll pass it on.
