So ...yeah, I was diagnosed with Type II diabetes back at the beginning of June - a relatively minor case (if you can call diabetes "minor") - and have been successfully managing it with diet and exercise. This is what brought me (back) to quitting cigarettes and vaping.
All in all, I've been doing fairly well, but I've noticed that my trending levels have gone up a fairly significant amount (about 10 pts) since I started vaping. Now, I'm not blaming vaping ...there are other variables at play here, I haven't been able to exercise much in the last week or so due to 100+ temps, so that could be contributing as well ...but I'm wondering if there are any other diabetics here who have noticed a slight increase due to the flavors in the juices? I think, from what I've read, most people use Stevia / Sacralose for juice sweetener, which is fine for me, but I can only imagine that some flavors might be 'naturally' sweetened and, possibly, off-limits?
For the moment, I'm willing to wait it out, get my exercise back, and see if my numbers drop. This last week, my fasting glucose has been 95-105 - prior to this last week, I was managing in the 85-95 ranges, so it's not a huge jump ...just *slightly* concerning.
I suppose the question I have is, does anyone have any resources for diabetic concerns and vaping?
