Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is often associated with impaired glucose metabolism. Data on the effects of OSAS treatment with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) on blood glucose and insulin resistance are conflicting. The study aimed at assessing the immediate effect of CPAP on glucose control measured with a continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS).
