diabetes Sleep Apnea And Diabetes Ii

[prvet]

Hi:

I went to a private MD for SA. I'm SC with diabetes II and NP in both hand and legs, 50% SC. He gave me this diagnose: "This patient has severe OSA with hypoxemia (!) and this explains the degree of hypersomnia and dysmtos. Also the onset of diabetes and OSA appear to be concomitant. In any case, he warrants therapy with CPAP. Will begin therapy with close follow up to ensure optimal CPAP compliance". Will this could help me to summit a claim? I need advice. Thx.

What was the date of the DM II DX (Diagnosis)? Is your BMI 28%++, neck 17+, Stomach circumference in inches (??)? The overnight Sleep Study results, OSA, Central SA or Mixed SA? Are you on supplemental Oxygen, do you know what if your P02 pressure fell below 90% at any time?
