  • at least one sensor detecting a physiological signal and transmitting physiological data to a controller; and

    a controller to control an air flow generator to provide pressurized air to a patient according to a first treatment protocol, and wherein said controller is adapted to determine a blood glucose level from the physiological data and to change to controlling the air flow generator to provide pressurized air according to a second treatment protocol based on the determined blood glucose level, wherein the first treatment protocol controls pressure to generally remain constant over a breathing cycle of the patient, and wherein the second treatment protocol controls the pressure to vary over the breathing cycle of the patient and comprises initiating target ventilation control.
