Many male friends have the symptom of snoring. Scientific research has found that regular snoring not only affects the normal rest of oneself and one's spouse, but also comes with the risk of inducing diabetes.

After analyzing previous research results, it was discovered that airway blockages often occur in patients who snore and suffer from sleep apnea, which can lead to high blood pressure and heart disease. Researchers suspect that the risk of developing diabetes may also increase for those who snore, because sleep apnea is often associated with snoring, and the incidence of sleep apnea is higher among diabetic patients than among healthy adults.

Research shows that snoring can affect the patient's normal oxygen intake, causing high levels of catecholamine substances in the body, leading to insulin resistance. Therefore, snoring itself is a potential risk factor for the development of diabetes.

People who frequently snore should be more vigilant, especially if they have other risk factors for diabetes such as obesity, smoking, or a family history of diabetes. It's important to pay attention to preventing diabetes. It is best to seek help from a doctor to thoroughly solve the problem of snoring and eliminate the safety hazards that could induce diabetes.
