after much thought i decided to quit smoking the reason was i had high blood preasure and protein in my urine(the protein cleared up before i quit so one less thing to worry about) and a after a chat with my dn my choice's were either that or she was talking of putting me on tablets so i packed the ciggies :?i bought myself a blood preasure monitor. To start i went on to the patches and lozengers was only having one smoke a day for a week or so but as of today i've not had one for a week . we all know its bad for us but i used to enjoy my ciggies and the thought of quiting used to bring me out in a sweat i know its early days but the craving isn't half as bad as i thought it would be and thats with a smoker still in the house funny but it dosn't bother me. i don't want to be on more medication than needs be and will do anything i can before i resign myself to it, if i do have to go on the tablets at least i know i did everything i could to prevent it. its an odd side effect of diabetes tho its changes your life style in many ways all for the better , anyway im off for a lozenger :lol: :lol:
