Course Information
In recent years studies have demonstrated that diabetes is likely to be associated with other problems and conditions which all add to the burden. They include disability, impaired cognitive function, reduced quality of life and sleeping disorders.The IDF (International Diabetes Federation) consensus statement on sleep apnea and type 2 diabetes wants to raise awareness of the association between sleep apnea and type 2 diabetes. IDF calls on health decision makers to encourage further research into the links between the two conditions and urges healthcare professionals to adopt new clinical practices to ensure that a person with one condition is considered for the other.
