Obstructive sleep apnea is clinically linked to insulin resistance as a pathophysiological contributor to glucose intolerance and diabetes, as supported by multiple studies including [1], [2], and [3]. The condition promotes insulin resistance through mechanisms such as sympathetic nervous system activation and the release of inflammatory mediators, as detailed in [4], [5], and [6].

referenceA 2002 study by Ip et al. concluded that obstructive sleep apnea is independently associated with insulin resistance.
claimThe activation of the sympathetic nervous system, hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, and adipocytes due to Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) leads to the release of catecholamines, cortisol, and inflammatory cytokines, which may mediate the development of glucose intolerance, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes.
claimObstructive sleep apnea contributes to the onset of diabetes through the development of glucose intolerance and insulin resistance, which are established pathophysiological processes in diabetes, according to Martin et al. (1992).
claimObstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is associated with impaired glucose tolerance and insulin resistance.
