Two weeks of moderate hypoxia improves glucose tolerance in individuals with type 2 diabetes

We previously showed that nightly exposure to moderate hypoxia reduces fasting glucose levels and improves both whole-body skeletal muscle and hepatic insulin sensitivity in individuals with obesity. The goal of this study was to extend this observation in an “at home” setting and determine if nightly exposure to moderate hypoxia improves glucose tolerance in individuals with type 2 diabetes. Eight adults, ages 20–65 years with type 2 diabetes...
