Did we miss this? The detrimental effect of nicotine on diabetes

[Docliv]

Hi All,

I have had Type 2 diabetes for several years and I vape constantly. So far I have not noticed any "spiking" when I do my blood tests. Am I doing something wrong? The diabetes medications I take on a regular basis are Metformin & Glyburide. So far I have not had to increase the dosage for over a year of consistent (when awake) vaping.

My blood sugars have increased from 75-120 to 180-230 since I started 1 1/2 yrs ago.
I did not know why until this week.
The last few months I have not been vaping as much (did not exactly quit but the output and amount I vaped with drastically decreased) and my atomizers were not putting out.
I recently purchased new LR atomizers and new liquid this past weekend and started vaping on Monday a.m.
My sugars immediately increased but I do not know if it is the PG/VG mixture or the nicotine.
I dont suspect its just the nicotine as I smoked 1.5 to 2 packs of cigs each day and had better bg control. I have also dipped on rare occasions, and noticed no increase in bg levels the last 1.5 yrs.
I am using 12mg with a 60/40 mix PG/ VG
My fastings have increased as well./ I check my bg 3-4 times daily and this increase is not because I just recently quit smoking as I stopped 1.5 yrs ago.
I 1st noticed the increase 1.5 yrs ago but was puzzled- now feel there is a definite connection. The common denominators are the liquid and increased usage.

I'm type 1, and have noticed no increase in my Blood Sugars after 1 1/2 yrs of vaping and test myself 8-10/times a day.

Just saying.......we are all different.

Right,we are all different.
The juice we all vape is different as well, so its difficult to compare.
We all vape diff levels of nicotine and PG/VG

maybe it's not the PG, vg, or nicotine. maybe it's the flavoring. dessert vape versus tobacco vape, or even natural extract versus chemical flavoring.
