Findings in patients with suboptimally controlled type 2 diabetes and obstructive sleep apnea
For patients with severe obstructive sleep apnea under a copayment health care system

Financial Obstacles Only Partly to Blame for Low CPAP Acceptance

However, potential 27 percent improvement in CPAP acceptance with higher neighborhood income
A new discovery about the way obstructive sleep apnea may raise the risk of cardiovascular disease also suggests that taking statins might reduce that risk. The findings were published in the Jan. 6 issue of Science Translational Medicine.

Statins May Reduce CVD Risks Linked to Sleep Apnea

But more study is needed, researchers say
