Trying to Bring All These Things Together
High fasting insulin levels are correlated with sleep apnea; fasting insulin levels correlated with coronary heart disease; CPAP treatment for sleep apnea reduces CHD risk, apparently because of increased oxygen to the myocardium. I am having a hard time figuring out the relationship (if any) between insulin level and atherosclerosis. I have seen a paper which I blogged about concerning evidence that blood sugar levels increased risk of atherosclerosis; cannot find it now.

High insulin seems likely to be a marker for other things, like glucose resistance. If the cells aren't absorbing glucose properly, high blood sugar levels will cause higher insulin release.
