Healthy Sleep Solutions is a proud sponsor of the Prof. Paul Zimmet’s seminar: ‘A Sleeping Giant – OSA and Type 2 Diabetes’ held in Wollongong on 9 May 2012.
Prof. Paul Zimmet has an outstanding international record in diabetes and obesity, in the clinical arena and in research into epidemiology, public health and molecular biology. During the seminar, he will talk about the emerging evidence that sleep disordered breathing and abnormalities of sleep duration may play an aetiological role in the development of Type 2 Diabetes.
The number of global sufferers from diabetes is set to rise to 438 million by 2030, which is a 54% increase from 2012.
Together, Type 2 Diabetes, OSA, and obesity constitute a ‘sleeping giant’ threat that may just be the biggest epidemic in human history.
