Good luck on quitting smoking fenix it makes a massive difference - you feel much more healthy once your lungs have cleared.
Never been sure what effect it had on BG levels, it effects so many things in the body. The post above mine is probably a good explanation of what might happen. Can't say I remember - was too busy climbing the walls to pay much attention to what my levels were like.
Making you more hungry is definitely a side effect you are going to watch out for, some people can struggle with it, like claymic. Hope it passes for you claymic, it defiantly makes life a bit more complicated for us diabetics.
That is only temporary and will go after a while - but it depends on the person of course. I think the problem is that your mind is missing the nicotine, and looking for something else to fill the empty feeling you get, even when the actual nicotine is long out of your system. So its almost like the initial cravings in a way, even if you are not actually thinking of cigs at the time.
What will help to ease those feelings and dealing with cravings is different for each person, for me it was thinking about it logically, distracting myself when I got the feeling, and other little things - but I found out the best method for me after several attempts to quit in the past, so don't beat yourself up if you have a little more difficulty, just be glad you have quit and take it from there.
There's definitely no right way to stop smoking, its just as individual as a persons diabetes management. So I hope the method you have chosen makes it easier for you - the rest you can deal with later, just stop putting those horrible things in your mouth, and worry about the rest when it crops up
