Hi, I am trying to give up the fags, because I have to, not because I actually want to. So I went and got one of those refillable e cigs, which, to be fair has worked absolute wonders (1 cig a day since Wednesday and only to tide me over when it is on charge) But of course, the leaflet says not suitable for diabetics. Does anyone know if it is really something I should bug my doctor with, or if it is just a general warning, as it contains nicotine it still carries some of the same risks as smoking for diabetics (and everyone else for that matter) just without all the other chemicals? Surely it's still got to be a healthier option, all be it swapping one bad habit for another, I know I will have to give it up anyway at some point, but everything in its own time. I will ask the dr when I have to go next, but seems a waste of their time asking them about this alone
