  • PARTICIPANTS: The participants were 13 adults with GHD and 13 age-, gender- and body mass index-matched normal subjects. (bvsalud.org)
  • Although many clinical physiology and epidemiology studies show an association between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and markers of insulin resistance, no causal pathway has been established. (atsjournals.org)
  • Insulin is a hormone that controls the level of glucose (a type of sugar) in the blood. (rcog.org.uk)
  • If you are on insulin, you may at time needs to switch onto a different type or make of insulin. (diabetes.co.uk)
