As we all know, smoking is very bad for our health. I have an aunt who smokes a lot and she has diabetes. Her doctor told her that smoking would greatly increase her risk of very high cholesterol. Smoking would also increase the possibility of death due to heart disease than those of the diabetics who do not smoke. Diabetics who smoke are also more likely to have kidney failure, nerve damage, blood vessel damage, and other
fatal diseases.
It's really very hard to quit the
chain smoking habit. But, if you already have diabetes, you better find ways to ditch the bad habit, and soon. Your doctors or health care providers have ways on how you can avoid smoking. The highly suggested solution is to use the nicotine patch.
There are also medications which can help you quit smoking. If you don't want any more life-threatening conditions, you better focus on living a healthy lifestyle rather than endangering your health more. Diabetes is a fragile enough state, as it is. So, if you like to blow smokes and you're a diabetic, try getting addicted to something that's much healthier, a
healthy diet and exercise, perhaps?
