CPAP may improve glycemic control in sleep apnea patients

[Northerner]

Continuous positive airway pressure, or CPAP, appears to improve glycemic control in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and type 2 diabetes that is not well controlled, according to research published in the American Thoracic Society's American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine. "Effect of CPAP on glycemic control in patients with obstructive sleep apnea and type 2 diabetes: A randomized clinical trial," is believed to be the first randomized controlled trial of its kind.

Francisco Garcia-Rio, MD, PhD, professor of medicine at Autonoma University of Madrid and senior study author, said the research advanced understanding of the biological relationship between two major public health problems, which epidemiological studies have indicated are related.

I quickly read the title and thought it said c**p may improve glyce... - I thought we were back to faecal transplants. 😱

The article has to be American as it misses out two ligatures representing Latin dipthongs. Glycemic instead of glycaemic and apnea instead of apnoea. Along with erm 'my' faecal above is this a record for a post? Did I tell you I had to look some of this up in an encyclopaedia..............🙄

Lucky you weren't looking up Aegis or Oesophagus in an American dictionary, you wouldn't even be looking under the right letter!

Err, Robin - there is (or was?) an American insurance company called Aegis - sans dipthong, of course!

A lot of my friends went to work for Aegis when our department was outsourced to India - they're based just up the road in Eastleigh 🙂

There you go, I'm not going potty! Them and The New Hampshire (later AIG) at the time.
