People with diabetes have the same risk of developing sleep apnea as those without the disease.

Explanation:

Research shows that sleep apnea is about 70% more prevalent in people with type 2 diabetes. Often, this is due to obesity.

2

A CPAP machine is the most common treatment for sleep apnea.

Explanation:

The most common treatment for sleep apnea is a CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) machine. It's a small bedside pump that produces air. It's hooked up to a hose that is attached to a mask that you wear.

3

A CPAP machine works by sending oxygen to your nose and mouth through the mask.

Explanation:

A CPAP machine sends oxygen to your nose and mouth through the mask. The pressure in the mask prevents the tissue and the jaw from blocking your airway, allowing you to go into a deep sleep.

4

Explanation:

People with diabetes are more likely to develop heart disease. That's because high blood glucose levels can damage the heart and blood vessels. One of the benefits of using a CPAP machine is potentially lowering your risk of heart attack and stroke.

There is only one type of CPAP machine.

Explanation:

There are many different types of CPAP machines and masks. Talk to your local sleep specialist about which option is best for you.
