Is he overweight? Both diabetes and sleep apnea are correlated with obesity. This COULD be the connection. I am unaware of any direct connection between diabetes and apnea.

I am a 57 year old man who also has sleep apnea. Yes there is a good correlation between being obese and having sleep
apnea but not all who suffer with this are obese. I know several women who are skinny and have this. According to my
doc sleep apnea makes trying to lose weigh a lot harder. I know that after starting treatment 5 months ago I have lost 14 lbs without dieting or more exercise. The Mendoza web page has a nice article on this.

The most common cause of sleep apnea and diabetes is being overweight. You can't get diabetes from sleep apnea or vice versa. Sleep apnea can cause alot of health problems as can diabetes. My advice is find a good doctor and get cleared for a weight loss/exercise plan. If the weight is lost and a more healthy lifestyle is adapted both the diabetes and sleep apnea may go away. Good luck to you both.

People who are obese are usually the ones with diabetes and people who are fat are the ones with sleep apnea.
The correlation is fat=diabetes
fat=sleep apnea

I am writing to tell you what an incredible impact these methods had on my life! I have had type 2 diabetes for 27 years. For me, the worst part of this horrible disease is the severe pain I constantly get in my feet. The pain is so bad that I avoid standing and walking as much as possible. I've got to tell you that within the first month, my feet stopped hurting altogether and I can now walk totally pain free.
Believe it or not, I even danced at my niece's wedding last month, something I have not done in a many years. I've been following the book for six months now and my blood sugar is well within normal range. I feel great!
I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

I have both conditions but I don't think the two are related. One common factor is being overweight. Other than that the two conditions have nothing to do with each other.
