Other variables that can increase your risk include diet, level of exercise, stress levels, and other factors that can aggravate obstructive sleep apnea. Dr. Bowling,

I've been snoring since my early teen years, but not diagnosed with diabetes until my mid forties. However, it is significant to note that three other brothers (out of eight children) also have diabetes, but not the two sisters. Do you spot any correlations there, or any causes and effects? Thank you, Dr. Bowling Dr. Park,

As you get older, your internal throat tissues sag :( People have different responses to losing weight. The lower number you start off with, the more likely it'll improve if you lose significant weight. Kaye,

He is said to have mild sleep apnea. He has smoked a pack a day for 25 years but now he has quite and he is losing 30 lbs. Does he have hope to not have to wear the dreaded CPAP machine everynight?
