[QUOTE="scottish-jim, post: 903052, member: 56272"] I'm 54 days off the cigs now by using eLiquid with and eCig and found it really easy to stop the cigs.. [B]Hasn't affected my blood sugars[/B] though I'm using a tobacco flavour. Though [B]I've not heard of eLiquids with high sugars[/B]. As far as I know [B]eLiquids don't contain sugar as a sweetener because it clogs up the coil and wick in no time. Many, if not most juices contain sweetner in the form of: sucralose, stevia or ethyl maltol.[/B] Have a read here: [URL]http://www.diabetes.co.uk/ecigs-vaping-and-diabetes.html[/URL] They do state that it may in crease your HbA1c by about 1 point but I'm not sure about that as there has been no real clinical test to confirm as far as I'm aware. The increase is suggested to be to do with high nicotine levels but the good thing with eLiquids is you can gradually reduce your nicotine strength to zero. I started on 18mg and next step will be 12mg with the final goal of 0mg. [B]I'm a Happy Vaper[/B] - loving being off the cigs and saving money too. Oh and food tastes better. [/QUOTE]
