Obstructive Sleep Apnea: Its Relevance in the Care of Diabetic PatientsIn Brief Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common and frequently unrecognized disorder.

This article reviews the presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of OSA and its related health risks. It also discusses the proposed associations between OSA and diabetes and insulin resistance.
