Living with Diabetes and Lapband

It doesn't help with I read about research that says sleep causes Type 2 diabetes.

I have been dealing with sleep apnea for over 20 years.  Long before being diagnosed with diabetes.  One early theory was that when I broke my jaw in a car accident that caused my sleep apnea.  That means that it was untreated for about 20 years.  My doctor tends to forget that until I want to try something other than CPAP.  Otherwise, it get buried in the chart.

I have been struggling with my CPAP mask for a while.  We've tried several different ones.  The one I have is the best.

The worse part, is that when I have a bad night, it tends to make the next night even worse.  If I am too tired or not tired enough, I wake up a lot, and then the mask ends up off.  

I have been to sleep therapy, with two different people.  The last one had some good tools which I have been using, but she has also belittled the stress in my life.  I know I shouldn't be stressed about the things I stress about but is just how I am.

I've had a bad night just about every night this week.  If I go to sleep at a "reasonable" time, I wake up in the middle of the night.
