As for smoking that is big No when you have diabetes, if you Google smoking and diabetes you'll find enough information there to put you off smoking altogether.As for not eating fruit & veg and not exercising, it's important to eat a balanced diet and that includes at least 5 portions of fruit and veg a day, exercise is incredibly important too as it improves circulation and aids in weight management, exercise also increases insulin sensitivity so you'd find you'd need a lot less insulin if you got yourself active each day.As I say, given the problems you have you need to improve things but this should be done under the guidance of your diabetes care teams.</blockquote>
