Vaping With Diabetes

[HPBotha]

Seriously... Peas are on the no no list along with a whole heap of other food we used to eat when we wanted to be healthy!

dude i know your pain. but with diabetes i'd rather not eat a pea or bean or whatever if it means i can save a leg or my eye sight. Get some lekker aniseed vape and drop some honey flavour with cinnamon. anything is better than popping pills and having to worry about your health.

banting is a lifestyle....and i found that vaping has become a moerse part of the transition for myself.
at least the vaping community is a great way of keeping me off the munchies - stick it out, and rage on the forums.

Keep on vaping some dervish, and abstain from the reds....

I'm probably silly for asking and a lot might LoL at this post but fk it gotta be careful.

Recently started vaping and i've found a common trend amongs all the Ejuice Flavours.. everything is Desserts and Candy Flavours. I been using the Rocket Sheep Cloudsat juice and i find it very sweet..

My concern is as a Type 2 Diabetic are these Juices Save, i've notice a slight rise in my BGL (Blood Glucose Level) but that could just be from me skipping a few days of Medication and it being Festive time (having a few drinks)

I'm sure there no actual Sugar in these Liquids or at least i hope not.

Let me know whats what. Much Appreciated.

There are no actual sugars in ejuice, unless you buy a dodge brand that no one knows of. Well known flavors are quite safe and will not contain actual sugar. They use artificial sweetener as sugar will burn at the temps we vape at.

@dr phil and i actually had this discussion last night

perhaps @Nibbler could tell us a bit more on how vaping has affected his sugar levels ?

I'm a Type 2 Diabetic and I can tell you that the stuff that goes in my mouth affects my diabetes 99,9% more than vaping ever has... I ran blood tests when I started vaping to check the sugar levels and I found no change due to vaping... in fact my sugar levels reduced slightly because instead of eating bad foods I vaped an awesome juice!

Thanks for that. As mentioned. was just concerned with all these Desserts and Candy Flavours about.

I know for a fact Vaping has no effect if you a diabetic 0% harm on ur sugar levels. In fact Iv seen a diabetic benfit with vaping. A flu that would take 3weeks to get over when smoking stinkeys and sugar levels that are sky high because of infection but when vaping iv seen a person fight the same flu in 4days with normal sugar levels. Vaping is a God sent if you are diabetic

Funny you should say that @dr phil! On our recent trip to the USA there were 3 vapers and one non vaper (My Wife)... we each got the flu in turn and the vapers suffered for one day and then recovered and my wife suffered for 4 days! I told her it was because of vaping but she doesn't believe me.

Great to know, thanks. When I feel a bug becoming active I switch over to 100 % PG (with a bit of menthol concentrate added) to win the fight quickly - tip I picked up from @zadiac.

Thank you, I can now see why the doctor's of the National Health Service in Britain can commend e-cigs to their patients. Many different types of diagnosed patients can make use of this miracle.

has anyone heard of the Evoke yet? wooden old-school looking space ship device that will cost around 20 pounds, and ten pounds weekly to keep it refilled etc.

Doctor's in the UK are promoting Evoke Vapes under discretion of course, because imagine everyone wants to see their doctor to get vape supplies?!?

 

[Nibbler]

As a type 2 diabetic I can tell you from personal experience as an ex-smoker that Vaping saved my life.

Pre note. I make no claims or am educated in any medical way and nothing I say or ask is intended to imply that.

So I've been rather I'll for 3weeks. In and out of hospital. The doctors and specialists still don't know what's wrong.
My doctor, (bless her gorgeous heart) vapes and three of the nurses vape and only on my last hospital visit was a busted vaping in the ward.
But cluster migraines that blind me, come out of nowhere, and knock me out from the pain plus a viral infection that left boils all over,(those have gone, not the blinding cluster migraines) and other symptoms still plague me daily. I've been given morphine tablets that just help.just.

While I'm at home I have to take blood sugar level tests three times a day and blood pressure readings three times a day.
What I want to know is, is vaping safe for diabetes? And does vaping effect your blood pressure. My doc did find I had a pg sensitivy, so I only vape 80%vg and up.
Which kills stealth vaping btw.

 

[Nightwalker]

I'm not diabetic but my readings are always either high or low. Never in range. I'm definitely not claiming its vape related

I recall @Rob Fisher having problems with migraines way back just after I joined the forum. I can't remember what the remedy was, but at the time he was ready to quit vaping.

Didn't he also have dry knuckles ?

Yip they were bad and I did indeed nearly stop vaping... I still don't know if vaping had anything to do with the headaches or wether it was withdrawal symptoms from stinkies or whether it was a virus... happily they went away after 3 weeks and have never had a headache since!

 

[BumbleBee]

I used to get migraines too, they lasted for 3 days at a time, used to get them every 10-14 days. I haven't had a migraine in over a year since I cut sugar and carbs and started on a high fat diet

And no, Vaping has no effect on blood glucose levels

PM me with a link to see that diet pls.
The doc doesn't think it's vaping related. But they can pry my RX200 and Griffin from my cold dead hands

What I want to know is, is vaping safe for diabetes? And does vaping effect your blood pressure.

Hi @Nightwalker

I am not a doctor, but I can agree with what several guys said above about your question on blood sugar.
I am pretty confident that vaping has no impact on the blood sugar level. The main reason is that you are not ingesting any glucose or anything that can be broken down into glucose into your bloodstream. At least to my best knowledge I have never heard of the vapour getting converted into glucose in the blood.

As for blood pressure - that is a tricky one
Nicotine is widely known to lead to a short term increase in the blood pressure and the heart rate. However there are several complicated factors affecting the longer term impacts. Just google this and you will see. An interesting link to read is here: http://www.uptodate.com/contents/smoking-and-hypertension

Since you are already in touch with medical specialists - chat to them about it - but if you have any doubts, perhaps you could try vaping zero mg liquids for a few days and see what happens before and after to your blood pressure. Let us know if you do, I would be most interested to hear the outcome.
