Hi all.. now here's a question. Has giving up smoking ever caused anyone blood sugars to go through the roof??
I was diagnosed with type 2 a couple of years ago... go it under control with diet exercise and metformin. And kept my bloods at a decent level for over a year.
To cut a long story short. I gave up smoking 9 months ago. And my bloods have crept back up and up to a point where they are just as bad as when I was first diagnosed.
I've not replaced the cigs with sweets or any other ****.. diet is still same and regular exercise but just cant get my levels back down.. most recent blood test came back at 86.
Now giving up smoking is the only change I've made..
Could my metformin just stop working as my body got used to it..
I'm lost. And it's doing my head in..
Any advice
