High blood sugar and smoking

Last week, researchers released lab experiments that found nicotine raised blood sugar levels. The more nicotine that was present, the higher the blood sugar levels were. This is particularly bad news for people with diabetes. The biggest point that can't be lost in this study is that nicotine raises the blood sugar levels, not tobacco. What this means is that diabetics who feel they are "smoking healthier", because they are using e-cigarettes, are actually doing more harm for their health. Cessasion experts will find this study useful when it comes to diabetics who look to use nicotine replacement products/therapies for assistance when the time comes to an attempt to quit smoking. The study found that using a nicotine replacement product for a short period of time is alright as long as the goal is to quit. However, extended use of nicotine replacement products as a "smoking supplement" in NOT RECOMMENDED. http://www.ahiphiwire.org/News/Print.aspx?channel=Wellness&doc_id=784508&utm_source=3%2f28%2f2011&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=HiWire_Newsletter&uid=TRACK_USER
