So I was just wondering if anyone out there has any experience with this. My uncle is diabetic and he wasasking me about trying vaping. Then I remembered he's also a diabetic. I believe he has type 2 diabetes where the insulin his body makes is unusable. Now with that in mind plus the fact that some juices have sweeteners, would vaping possibly be harmful to him? Any help on the matter would be great.
Vaping and diabetes?

I am as well. None of my doctors are concerned. Bear in mind I'm not that bad yet. I don't need insulin.
I also have diabetes, and if vaping has made any difference, there has been a very modest decline in a1c readings over the past year. Probably coincidental, but better than a modest increase. I can't vouch for each individual flavor, but it just doesn't seem likely.
I'm a type 2 diabetic and been vaping for just over two and a half years both my GP and dedicated diabetic nurse are happy about it so I think any affect it might have is minimal and shouldn't prevent switching to vaping.
The FDA considers VG a carbohydrate, so it may affect your blood sugar. That said however, that's when you ingest it directly like in food. We're inhaling it. And most vapers wouldn't inhale enough of it to really spike your blood at all, especially since most of it is exhaled afterwards. And to the best of my knowledge manufacturers use artificial sweetners in their juices which wouldn't hurt your sugar levels either.
Don't quote me on this though, it's just from some cursory research and from living with a Type 2 diabetic and being good friends with another lol.

Oh and according to my bloodwork, I'm almost a type 2 diabetic myself. Basically I have to change my diet or I will be in a couple years. But my doctor isn't concerned about vaping.
I am also a type 2 diabetic for over 20 years now. I take pills and have also been on insulin for the past couple of years. I don't notice any difference with my A1c since vaping and my doctor is very happy that I vape instead of smoke.
I might be wrong here but wouldn't unflavoured ejuice be fine for diabetes?
Type 2 diabetic here; I've been vaping for over 3 years. My favorite vapes tend to be towards dessert/bakery e-liquids. Got a full physical over a month ago; my doctor is extremely pleased with the results. If your uncle is looking to move from smoking to vaping, help him start the journey.
I am type 2 as well. I control it with pills and havnt needed to go to insulin. I have been vaping almost 2 years and known I'm diabetic for around 6 years. If anything vaping has been helpful. I get a nighttime sweet tooth and vaping can curb that. I check my blood glucose a few times a day and it goes up slightly from sweet juices but it is only a few points, not a 100 or 120 point spike like from a cookie or candy. I can live with that.
