Women's health and vaping

[Kate]

Please could you mention health issues that are specific to women and vaping here.

I don't suppose there can be many that don't affect men too but here's a link to one about thrush/yeast infection - Ladies only... girly problems anyone?

I am diabetic, so any change in meds, sugar, acid (too much oj ect.) will throw me off and give me yeast infections. So far so good, but I have only been off analogs for 2 days. The nic in the PV is only 11mg, less then my old smokes, we will see. I am having a chin breakout. lol I didn't even have those when I was a teen! I think it is the vapor on my skin. No big deal though.

MaryKay, are you Type 1 or 2? Also, do you think the sweetness of some of the e-juices raise your insulin levels?

So far nothing going on down there.
It's been 30 days on the 901, so maybe I'm going to be lucky and not get the yeast infection.

Someone did test their insulin levels before and after vaping- I remember seeing something about it.... I bet someone can find that!

That would be great, Wildsky! Thanks.

I am type two, I am Hispanic and we are prone to diabetes. I was diagnosed when I was in my mid 30's. I also gained a ton of weight, that didn't help! I lost the weight, kept the diabetes and added high blood pressure. So far no change in my blood sugar..it's still high, B.P. is good though. What I worried about was snacking instead of smoking. It seems to be ok so far.
My Dr. will have a cow about the e-cigs, but she won't be upset about not smoking.

That too.

Ok, I had some breakouts and now my arms and legs feel sore. If I am going to be sore, I want it to be from exersize not vaping!!
I read somewhere on here that this is normal..not me, the soreness.
How long does it last?
