If you have diabetes there is a much better chance that you also suffer from Weight Gain Sleep Apnea.This fact has been discovered and the two problems tie into each other through people being overweight. Weight Gain Sleep Apnea a serious condition marked by loud snoring, irregular breathing and interrupted oxygen intake, affects an estimated nine million Americans. The culprit is carrying too many extra pounds.

Extra pounds interferes with insulin's ability to propel sugars from digested food across the cell membrane,robbing the cells of needed carbohydrates. Diabetes results when glucose builds up in the bloodstream and can't be utilized by the body. Being overweight can also lead to obstructive Weight Gain Sleep Apnea.
As we put on weight the fatty deposits build up along the throat and line the breathing passages. The muscles in this region slacken during sleep, forcing the airway to narrow and often close altogether.Reclining on one's back magnifies the situation.When an overweight person lies down and goes to sleep gravity shoves the fat in the neck backwards.This blocks the airway and can bring breathing to a halt.This is where sleep Apnea and weight gain starts.
Doctors tested the blood sugar of randomly selected male veterans whom doctors had previously diagnosed with obstructive sleep Apnea. They discovered that thirty-one percent, unknowingly suffered from adult-onset diabetes.

They also took panoramic X-rays of the men's necks and jaws. The X-rays indicated that twenty-two percent, revealed calcified plaques in the carotid artery leading to the brain. These plaques block blood flow, significantly increasing patients' risk for stroke. Fifty-eight percent, were also diagnosed with diabetes.

In dramatic comparison, the 17 patients diagnosed with diabetes showed nearly twice the incidence of blockage. Seven of the 17 men, or 41 percent, had carotid plaques. Only five of the 54 patients who displayed plaques did not have also diabetes.

If they conducted this study today they would likely find a higher number of diabetics.
