      Some data indicate a connection between sympathetic activation, impaired glucose tolerance and leptin resistance.39–41 OSA patients have higher fasting blood glucose levels and are at increased risk of developing diabetes mellitus.42,43 Furthermore, leptin levels in OSA patients are higher than in matched similarly obese persons without OSA, and this may predispose to platelet aggregation.40,44
