Vaping and glucose levels?

[Pam O]

Just wondering if there are any diabetics on here who vape and if so have you noticed any increase in blood sugar levels??

Thanks
Pam

Did a post about this a while back PamO, it's not a problem for us. The levels used are incomparable to the health benefits.
I will find the post and edit this to link

OK ant.
Just something I have noticed since I started vaping is that I have had several blood sugar crashes.

I am not diabetic but since I was in my early 20's if I have something with a lot of sugar in like a chocolate bar my blood sugar plummets to the point where I shake, get dizzy and even get slurred speech within an hour or so.

I have kept on top of this for the past two years by avoiding the things that brought it on, sweets, chocolate etc but have had four attacks in the last month. Just curious really, if vaping is causing it I will make sure I keep sweets with me all the time so I can stop the crashes till I can have something slower burning to eat.

Pam, since I started vaping I have had to change my medication due to a lot of hypo's. I was stable once I started using gliclozide (spelling) for the past 9 months but have stopped using it after I stopped smoking. I do not understand this and neither does my Dianurse. I did read one person (forgot the name, sorry) on here managed to stop using all D medication after converting to the vap but I don't think I will be as lucky.

So strange as this is, I need less medication now that I vap.

Thats probably because your body doesn`t have to fight against the thousands of poisons in cigarettes.

Edited because the whisky has addled my brain cell
