[QUOTE="Xan2cv, post: 908233, member: 172718"] Hi, I am a vaper and for those of you that are & Diabetic like myself here are a couple of interesting facts I learn't recently. Firstly Electronic Cigarette juice consists of a food grade Propylene Glycol base (PG) usually mixed with a certain percentage of food Grade Vegetable Glycerine or (VG) When (PG) is inhaled the body metabolises the PG as Lactose and this may cause cramp for some people, usually drinking water or increasing water intake can resolve this, if it does not then a weaker mix of PG to VG may be necessary. Vegetable Glycerine on the other hand (VG) Metabolises in the Body as Sugar and anyone using a High Ratio of this usually above 50% may experience slightly higher sugar levels. Without going to much into the technical details many people Vape a higher % of VG because it produces more vapour but it can increase the bodies sugar levels. I have been a 100% VG vaper and struggled to lower my sugar levels I am now using a 70% PG / 30% VG mix which is probably the most common mix available at retailers, this has enabled me to reduce my sugars significantly. Hope this helps someone especially if you know your diet is fine and cannot seem to get those sugar levels down. Obviously everybody's Metabolic rate is different so it may or may not be having a bigger or lesser effect on your sugar results. My Morning Highs are a thing of the past now and it seems it was very much down to using 100% VG. Regards. Nigel. [/QUOTE]
