Couple of questions do you snore much...and is it linked too being over weight.?

Quite probably -- the CPAP is designed to prevent the airway collapsing and also stops the vibrations that cause snoring.  My snoring is directly linked to my weight ..... at 14st. 7lb I don't snore much ---- at 15st I wake the neighbourhood !!!!!!!

Only ask as im a right pie eater....snoring is terrible.

Wife isnt over weight and snores (on occasions) just wondered if if it was due too the excess pies i carry. :-/

The excess pies definitely don't help

Hope you have more luck than me ---- the only thing I lack is willpower!!!

A few years ago I went to the gym regularly, dropped from a 40 to a 34" waist, actually looked a vaguely human shape --- but now .... blob rules !!!!

I tried one of those -- uncomfortable, but bearable, at the start of the night -- bl**dy painful in the middle of the night -- on the floor by the morning !!!!!

I'm 11 stone dripping wet and 6'2", normal blood pressure but snore like a pig. I stop breathing anywhere between 20 and 80 times an hour but only in REM sleep aparently. Never looked into CPAP as the hospital reckoned I didn't need it. Been 20 something years since I was diagnosed though. Wakes SWMBO up sometimes though when I suddenly stop snoring for 15 to 20 seconds at a time

You should have that looked into again as i was told that anything over 30 was serious!  

I've asked my Doc but he won't refer me, he's convinced it's Low Level Diabetes

No offence, but your Doc should have had you checked even for "low level" Diabetes...

Congratulations on achieving that..

Personally, I managed to lose one stone, but weight keeps fluctuating by 8-10lbs without changing diet (diabetic)... :-/

"Inconclusive" is I guess sort of good news...
The longer you can manage without Metformin and stuff, the better for you...

I judge it myself really, if I'm feeling a bid shaky during the day I have an extra sugar in my test :d
