I was diagnosed with OSA about 15 years ago,  & have a collection

of CPAP machines to show for it.  What was actually causing the

problem was an allergy,  which OTC diphenhydramine treats quite

effectively - CPAP not necessary.  The (VA) sleep lab does'nt believe

this,  & refuses to re-test me;  it's less trouble to label me "non-complia=
nt".

Per your diabetes -  My A1C is 5.7,  again no thanks to the VA.

Some good info:  http://www.phlaunt.com/diabetes/

Good luck.
