Are leaks affecting my data and making it look better than it should be?
Here is my data from last night. Lowest AHI I have had so far but I am afraid my leaks are causing the data to look better than it really is....

You have a couple of periods of large leak; but, I don't think they are impacting your therapy.
You are snoring like a chainsaw. When you get a chance, please update your profile to reflect you men/max pressure settings of 14 - 20. Admin Note:

although your AHI is fine. I would still lift the min, till it settles the snoring. I found or 'imagined' that when I stopped the snoring. It settled my throat. It seemed snoring caused some inflammation of the soft tissue involved.

For auto-cpap, from machine data or software. You can set the min pressure 1 or 2cm below 95%. Or clinicians commonly use the maximum or 95% pressure for fixed pressure CPAP, this can also be used for min pressure. https://aasm.org/resources/practiceparam...rating.pdf

Thanks for the replies. With all that snoring I am surprised the wife hasn't knocked me in the head yet. I work on some more adjustments and see what we get
