[QUOTE="mazza 2, post: 2122619, member: 468347"] Just wanted some advice from anybody who has been a smoker. I stopped smoking 12 weeks ago as I decided that it’s silly to carry on with this destructive habit while I am being so good with my diet and exercise. And obviously every doctor and nurse telling me it’s the worst thing to do when diabetic. My problem is that my sugar levels are increasing without me changing anything else (eating more etc.) I have been vaping and I take 1.5mg nicotine lozengers, but only when I really have to. My fasting levels in the morning are now in the high 7’s and 8’s. After the same breakfast as always I was 10.4 one hour after and 8.8 2 hours after. I saw my diabetic nurse and told her what was happening and she said that my sugar levels should go down, not up when quitting smoking. She then suggested adding another tablet to try and get my levels down. I said I didn’t want to do that, so I am having a HBA1C test next week to check the level. I know it’s gone up by at least 3 points as my blood monitor and mysugr apt. shows this. Has this happened to anyone else. I’m thinking of taking up smoking again if this doesn’t settle down, I thought not smoking was the best thing you could do for your health , but it doesn’t seem that way to me at the moment. [/QUOTE]
