I am diabetic. I have not noticed any difference in my blood sugar levels. My only problem is sometimes I dont eat when I should because I am loving the taste of my vapes. Also fiddling with new things has helped me cut back on my snack food intake. I dont see any negatives.

I've been a food-controlled T2 diabetic for 40 years and use a BS monitor. I have seen no changes in my readings vaping. In fact, having to do my own low-carb baking, VG is a staple in my refrigerator. I add it to breads, cookies, and most baked goods to keep them moist. I know nothing about PG but, as I said have seen no changes in readings using it. However, in that respect, I only vape 50% PG, straight VG or 30% distilled water to thin it.

As an internal medicine physician I can tell you that from my knowledge of the ingredients in electronic cigarettes there should be no reason why it would affect diabetes. Things that are smoked are not processed in a way that any glucose can be absorbed. As for the chemicals making sugars go up due to hormone effects, well if this were the case it should have already been seen in smokers as most if not all of these chemicals area already in real cigarettes. And, if the electronic cigarettes are replacing the real thing it is my medical opinion that the switch will lead to better health and a longer life.
