I am not sure what respiratory patterns have to do with high glucose levels?? but then again, couchpotato disease doesn't get exercise, over eats bad foods, and doesn't stress their lungs more than moving the controls of some electronics or other. My breathing and exercising were no problem until I started taking all this chemical junk to control the glucose levels.
