1. A sleep apnea and obesity comorbidity treatment system comprising:
a transceiver; and
at least one of a 3-axis accelerometer, an impedance sensor, an electrocardiograph sensor, or an optical sensor;
a control module configured to:
determine an apnea hypopnea index level based on outputs of the at least one of the 3-axis accelerometer, the impedance sensor, the electrocardiograph sensor, or the optical sensor;
receive sensor data, wherein the sensor data is indicative of a glucose level of a patient and a ketones level of the patient,
one of:
transmit, with the transceiver, the sensor data to a remote feedback device, receive a first feedback information from the remote feedback device, wherein the first feedback information is generated based on the glucose level and the ketones level and without the apnea hypopnea index, and, based on the apnea hypopnea index level, alter the first feedback information to generate altered first feedback information, or
transmit, with the transceiver, the apnea hypopnea index level and the sensor data to the remote feedback device, and receive a second feedback information from the remote feedback device, wherein the second feedback information is generated based on the glucose level, ketones level, and apnea hypopnea index, and
based on the altered first feedback information or the second feedback information, perform an operation to indicate maintaining or altering at least one of a diet or physical activity of the patient.
