Diet and AHI
About 8 months ago after gaining some more weight I had to switch from my Dreamstation auto
to a Bipap set at 24-20. Then after losing 30lbs I was able to go back to my Dreamstation set at
15 -20. and it almost never goes above 16. But I have noticed that if I go off my low carb diet the
pressure I require and my AHI that night is lower. Then the next day when I cut back on carbs again
that night my pressure may go a little higher along with a higher AHI. I have noticed this pattern perhaps
30 times over the last 2 years. Could I just be more restless if I go to bed hungry and would this show up
in one of the SleepyHead graphs if so which one ?
