We're talking nicotine here?

It looks like it's the nicotine is the critical element in traditional smoking that raised blood sugar. I wonder if you're actually taking in more nicotine by vaping???

[mini rant, apologies in advance
Sorry, I know it's hard to give up smoking, I watched my T1 mother try and fail for 40 years. I also watched her live an extra 8 years because she gave up smoking just before she needed a heart bypass (they would have given her a quadruple one but gave her a double because her lungs were so bad), Then I watched her die at 78, killed by the years of smoking and not the T1. I'll tell you now what I wish someone could have made her believe when she was your age. Nicotine addiction and diabetes is a lethal combination. The conditions exacerbate each other.
ok, rant over]

Good luck

I’ve never had a problem with vaping

Forgive me if I am misreading this but I think you are saying you gave up ciggies in January and went straight onto vaping. Suddenly today, 4 months later, you have high bg and think it maybe due to the vaping you have been doing for 4 months.
This seems unlikely : why has vaping not caused a problem until today?
Have you discounted the usual? Stress, illness, changed you insulin batch, changed you pen/pump set, eaten something different, exercised less, drunk less...
To be honest, if my bg goes unexoectedly high for a day, I try not to draw any conclusions until I see a pattern.

Sorry I can't offer help on vaping but hope you sort your problem out soon.

This is interesting because I asked this question when I started a vaping about a year ago, when I tested myself I found it really depends on what your vaping, juice, herbs have different affects on bloods..
