A Randomized Controlled Trial of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure on Glucose Tolerance in Obese Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Conclusions:The improvement of glucose tolerance in morbidly obese patients with severe obstructive sleep apnea, without changes in homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance, supports an improvement in peripheral insulin resistance after continuous positive airway pressure treatment.Clinical Trials Registration:NCT 01029561.Citation:Salord N, Fortuna AM, Monasterio C, Gasa M, Pérez A, Bonsignore MR, Vilarrasa N, Montserrat JM, Mayos M.
