Research has shown there may be abnormalities in diabetic breathing. According to NormalBreathing.com, diabetics are heavy breathers. This type of diabetic breathing may lead to excessive CO2 losses in the body. The study suggests that a CO2 deficiency in the arterial blood, called hypocapnia, may be partly responsible for the development of diabetes.

Hypocapnia leads to a spasms inthe blood vessels, the website explains, and as a result decreases the oxygen delivery. This leads to higher levels of hypoxia-inducible factor 1, a protein that signals low levels of oxygen in body cells and regulates the activity of pancreatic cells. Therefore, patients who have heavier diabetic breathing are more likely to experience complications of diabetes, according to the study.

It is suggested that patients with diabetes take therapies to normalize diabetic breathing, which is said to lead to better glucose control. This works for both type 1 and 2 diabetics, …
