Interesting thoughts. My father (who is not overweight, normal range BMI) has had sleep apnea problems for years and the CPAP all but cured him of it. A coworker of my girlfriend (not overweight) also has sleep apnea and has had tremendous success with a CPAP. Forgive my knowledge gap here but, is it just OSA specifically that is usually found in middle-aged men with short, thick necks or is it all forms of sleep apnea? As far as your comments about better management of glucose levels, consider that the primary recommendation for type 2 diabetes is to eat a diet high in carbohydrates (fruits, grains, vegetables), making glucose management incredibly difficult if you follow the doctor's orders. Your blood sugar is killing you; make sure you eat things that make it kill you faster. There's obviously a problem here.
