Question:
Do you know about a connection between smoking and high level of
blood glucose ?
My wife got a high glucose level and we suspect that her smoking has
to do with it.
thanks
Answer:
know of no connection between smoking and blood glucose levels,
although that doesn't mean there isn't one.
You might want to consider the following though:
High blood glucose levels is generally an indicator of possible diabetes. Uncontrolled diabetes is likely to lead to heart problems.
Smoking is also likely to lead to heart problems.
Both together is usually a good time to check on your wife's life
insurance coverage, before official diagnosis makes additional insurance
impossible.
That wasn't meant as a joke. Your wife needs to do two things to help
lengthen her enjoyable life:
1. Give up smoking.
2. See a doctor and ask for a general health check, including blood
tests for diabetes and lipids (cholesterols).
