Personalizing sleep apnea treatment to improve blood sugar control

This trial is studying how treating obstructive sleep apnea (a common sleep disorder where breathing stops and starts during sleep) with a CPAP machine affects your blood sugar and metabolic health. Researchers will follow 600 patients over 18 months, collecting detailed information about how well the CPAP treatment works for each person and how it affects blood sugar control. The goal is to create a personalized treatment approach that works better for different patients.

Many people with sleep apnea also have diabetes or prediabetes, and current treatment doesn't always account for individual differences like how much sleep someone gets or how long they've had diabetes. This trial exists to answer important unanswered questions: Does using the CPAP machine more consistently improve blood sugar? Should doctors address both short sleep and sleep apnea together? And does long-standing diabetes make the treatment less effective? Understanding these answers could help doctors tailor treatment to work better for each person.
