Type 2 diabetes is a disease that is increasing in prevalence
worldwide. In genetically predisposed patients, the combination of
excess caloric intake and reduced physical activity induces a state of
insulin resistance. When beta-cells are not able to compensate for
insulin resistance by adequately increasing insulin production,
impaired glucose tolerance occurs, which is characterized by excessive
postprandial hyperglycemia. Impaired glucose tolerance may evolve into
overt diabetes. These three conditions (ie, insulin resistance,
impaired glucose tolerance, and overt diabetes) are associated with an
increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Intervention trials have
demonstrated that diabetes can be prevented by means of lifestyle
modifications, antidiabetic drugs directed against insulin resistance
or simply postprandial hyperglycemia, and cardiovascular drugs devoid
of effects on blood glucose levels. All of these have intracellular
antioxidant effects. Evidence on the efficacy of antioxidant
interventions is accumulating, and oxidative stress may be a
therapeutic target to prevent diabetes as well as cardiovascular
complications.

Oxygen is terrible stuff to be avoided at all cost. It is the cause of
all disease - there is never a disease or disorder where it doesn't play
a role.
