The sleep apnea (OSA) typically goes away as VAT is lost. Thus, it remains smart to eat less, down to the right amount (32 ounces) in order to lost the VAT thereby cure the insulin resistance (IR/MetS), cure the OSA, and possibly even the type-2 diabetes: http://www.***.com/ Be hungrier, which is truly healthier for mind, body, and soul: http://www.***.com/ Marana tha Prayerfully in the awesome name of our Messiah, LORD Jesus Christ, Andrew <>< -- "... no one can say 'Jesus is LORD' except by the Holy Spirit."

 Sleep Apnea and Diabetes Question
I have had it most of my {*filter*} life. Recently, I have been on loop diuretics, and the spouse says the sleep apnea has disappeared. Could it be tha sleep apnea may stem from pulmanary edema in some cases? I breath better at night than I have in decades. On Sun, 14 Jun 2009 14:14:43 -0700 (PDT), "Andrew B. Chung, MD/PhD" Quote:

It is when we no longer live under our parents' roof that we typically start eating much more than we need thereby accumulating VAT much more rapidly. Quote: > Recently, I have been on loop diuretics, > and the spouse says the sleep apnea has disappeared.
You also had been eating less because of loss of appetite. You may have also been making dietary changes that combined with eating less have resulted in your being wonderfully hungrier (healthier) which does result in loss of VAT. Quote: > Could it be tha sleep > apnea may stem from pulmanary edema in some cases?
It is unlikely that you have been having pulmonary edema most of your {*filter*} life. Quote: > I breath better at night than I have in decades.
You may now have less VAT than you have had in decades. May GOD soften your heart, Syd, so that you would come to trust the truth, Who is Jesus: http://www.***.com/ Amen.

*Well, maybe not full blown pulmanary edema. But I know I have been retaining excess fluid for many years. I was on 50 mg of HCTZ twice a day for a long time. The endo tried to cut it back to 50mg once a day, and my ankles immedieately swelled. And when they stopped it entirely after the high BUN and Creatinine readigs, I swelled up like a ballon. Quote: >> I breath better at night than I have in decades. >You may now have less VAT than you have had in decades.
*That cannot be since I have been much thinner than I am right now. The snoring and other apnea symptoms have entirely disappeared since the loop diuretic therapy. Quote: >May GOD soften your heart, Syd, so that you would come to trust the >truth, Who is Jesus:
*It's pretty soft right now. Don't forget that I am one of the few folks in USENET that shows you respect.

Peripheral edema is not the same as pulmonary edema. Quote: >>> I breath better at night than I have in decades. >> You may now have less VAT than you have had in decades. > *That cannot be since I have been much thinner than I am right now.
It remains possible. Quote: > The snoring > and other apnea symptoms have entirely disappeared since the loop diuretic > therapy.
Pulmonary edema does not cause snoring. Quote: >> May GOD soften your heart, Syd, so that you would come to trust the >> truth, Who is Jesus: >> http://www.***.com/ >*It's pretty soft right now.
Not the heart of your soul. Quote: > Don't forget that I am one of the few folks in > USENET that shows you respect.
While it is appreciated with thanks given to GOD for His putting it in your mind to recognize and respect knowledge, there is the understanding that the heart of your soul is still hard as stone. Recall that Nicodemus respected Jesus and yet it is written that Jesus told Nicodemus that he needed to be born again. The latter does mean that Nicodemus needed his heart of stone to be changed to a heart of flesh. You presently have the same need. "I will give them an undivided heart and put a new spirit in them; I will remove from them their heart of stone and give them a heart of flesh. Then they will follow My decrees and be careful to keep My laws. They will be My people, and I will be their GOD." -- the LORD (Ezekiel 11:19-20) Amen. Again, may GOD soften your heart, Syd, so that you would come to trust the truth, Who is Jesus: http://www.***.com/ Amen. Love in the truth, Andrew <>< -- Andrew B.

*I will remind you I am granted automatic grace by virtue of my tribal affilliation (Levite). That ought to count for something. Have you paid your Levitical tihe? hehehe
