Smoking- is it linked to hyperglycemia!!
-
Hi, I have been a chain smoker for last ten years. Recently I am diagnosed with high blood sugar. I am wondering, is it anyway linked to my smoking habit or do I have to quit smoking?

Smoking certainly increases your risk of type 2 diabetes and the risk of various diabetes complications, including:
Reduced blood flow in the legs and feet, which can lead to infections, ulcers and possible removal of a body part by surgery (amputation)
Heart disease
Stroke
Eye disease, which can lead to blindness
Nerve damage
Kidney disease
Premature death
Talk to your doctor about ways to help you stop smoking or using other types of tobacco. -
