GLP-1 receptor drugs and their ability to prevent sleep apnea in people with type 2 diabetes

Updated

Abstract

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is highly prevalent in type 2 diabetes (T2D).

  • OSA shares metabolic risk factors with T2D, particularly obesity.
  • Increased cardiovascular outcomes are associated with both OSA and T2D.
  • Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) may reduce OSA severity based on clinical trials.
  • The potential of GLP-1RAs to prevent new cases of OSA in T2D is still unclear.
