Hi guzzler-gosh you get around this forum don't you [emoji16]. I've tried champix-worked for a time and feel it was a good aid to giving up - stupidity relapsed after the fact though. Here in NZ we can only be prescribed it one time a year, but when that year comes around soon if still not...

I guess I feel it should be something that is known, considering- the ministry of health here (nz) now suggests that they have minimal risk and could be recommended to help cease tobacco use. Every one knows smoking and nicotine is not good that's not in dispute at all - it's more about if...

I've searched this in the forum and not found any thing about this - mostly it's read that switching to vape insted of tobacco is a health benifit - I'm sure in many ways that it is. After recently finding out nicotine ( by its self) has a negitive impact on blood glucose it got me thinking...

Hi thanks for your reply, it's nice to see someone local on here! Yes I'm urban - rotorua, I've actually had discussions with my gp about meters so can see what works and dosint but the gp was pretty dismissive about having/needing one - I'm guessing because I'm pretty honest about my previous...

Yes I have shocking posture too and also get sore if try correct it - I've basicly stopped trying to fix the pain and just deal with it as something that is part of life - the biggest help was stopping worrying about it, the pain is annoying but for me is not something that is that bad can't...

I'm much same as you, while I'm not saying this is your issue your pain could be something as simple as mine. I get left hand chest and arm pain more days than not, it took a long time to realise it was from reading in bed propped up on my left elbow while on my side for long periods. I used to...

I notice allot of people say reduce carbs gradually- im boarder line t2 and drastically changed my diet from carb loaded (take ways, pastries, bread, pasta every meal) to today I just worked out was about 46g carbs (mostly in vege) and only few g of sugar for the day. I am losing weight not...

https://www.google.co.nz/amp/s/www.news-medical.net/amp/news/20110327/Diabetic-smokers-beware-Nicotine-raises-blood-sugar-Study.aspx Answered my own question - I found this really interesting Relating to nicotine replacement options and diabetes.

What that article is saying is that in relation to diabetes- it is the nicotine alone that causes the problems, not smoking (obiously smoking has its own health drawbacks) and that would be no better off switching to vape in terms of risk of getting diabetes? That's what I got from that short...

Thank you so much will do

Thanks a ton for your reply - I broadly know carbohydrates are not good and have been trying to stay away from bread, pastry, rice etc-and if do trying to have 1 serving a day and picking the lowest amount can find. I'm usually having eggs for breakfast and I thought at the time weetbix were...

I tried champix and gave up while taking it was still hard for first week or so very concious effort needed- pretty quickly relapsed though - think would have been ok if didint give in to having the odd "1" still would take a lot of will power though - so that was 3 months not smoking. Then I...

Some back ground - I'm 33m New Zealander, my whole life lived on pies/pastrys, take away meals or instant meals, never was over weight except over the last 2 years had quite bit of stress with court custody hearings and basicly over ate myself to 102kgs (I'm 5 10" tall), I've never been a...
