- Relationship to Diabetes
- Type 1
World Diabetes Day and the Great American SmokeOut are both this week, and that makes it a good time to talk about the relationship between smoking and diabetes.
Many of us know that smoking causes heart attacks, vascular diseases, strokes, lung and many other cancers, however we need to understand that smoking and diabetes are highly associated with each other.
A number of studies have found that smoking can lead to the development of type 2 diabetes. The studies have examined the association between smoking and the incidence of glucose abnormalities revealing that smoking could be independently associated with glucose intolerance.
