Message: <blockquote data-quote="Steve14" data-source="post: 1462105" data-attributes="member: 305713">Have a question for those who quit smoking after their diagnosis. I've read some scientific journals in the past of how smoking affects sugar levels, and as far as I remember there wasn't a significant difference between smokers and non-smokers (we're talking about >1 point or so).When healthy people quit smoking the first thing they say is "I have tons more energy". So if getting more oxygen circulated throughout the body (resulting in more energy), and knowing that diabetes is a disorder of energy metabolism, then quitting smoking should significantly affect our levels in a good way, right? So why doesn't it? And most importantly: what was your experience after quitting?</blockquote>
