Well the Sleep Apnoea Support Group Meeting went very well this week and was great to see such a huge turnout, and nice to see other sufferers of OSA sharing their tips and stories.  The CPAP Cleaning Wipes were getting rave reviews from regular users - hence the fact we totally ran out.  However, fortunately more were on their way which are with us now.  The biggest shock was listening to the Diabetic Specialist, who was the main speaker of the evening, admit that she only discovered the big link with Diabetes and Sleep Apnoea 3 weeks ago!!  Excellent talk though on diabetes, which a lot of people appreciated.

can you let me know when the next one is please thanksx

That's good to hear Gina.  They are very informative meetings with chance to see the products from the CPAP manufacturers and talk to the experts.

"I previously had a DeVilbiss Sleepcube and the dehumidifier did sometimes run dry.  On the other hand I now have an AirSense 10 and it never runs dry, and I've had the humidity turned up high."

Airsense 10 -humidifier runs dry

Hi. I'm finding the Airsense 10 the hospital gave me, the humidifier chamber runs dry. It's not even on max settings, which I'm guessing would empty it a lot quicker. Seems like a big design oversight to me. Does anyone else have this trouble? The…See More
