Have diabetes no overweight ... is it normal to become snoring at age of 55. what may snoring mean?

Snoring has nothing to do with diabetes, but it indicates possible risk for obstructive sleep apnea. Discuss with your doctor; or if s/he is unsure, ask for referral to a sleep specialist. Good luck.

The development of snoring at age 55 years may be a sign of changes in upper airway patency, and could be a sign of developing sleep apnea. Let your doctor know of this transition, as a sleep study could be of value.
