Men who smoke can get diabetes

　　For sugar lovers, such indifference to smoking is almost equivalent to suicide. Because smoking will make the fragile body of people with diabetes worse.

　　Many international studies have confirmed that smoking can increase the risk of type 2 diabetes. According to a report in the International Annals of Medicine, a research team from Osaka University Graduate School in Japan disclosed that in a study of 1,300 people aged 35 to 45 years old, male The study found that subjects who smoked more than 30 cigarettes a day were 4 times more likely to develop diabetes than non-smokers, subjects who smoked 20-30 cigarettes a day were 3 times more likely to develop diabetes than non-smokers, and subjects who smoked less than 20 cigarettes a day were 88% more likely to develop diabetes than non-smokers.

　　So, how does tobacco harm our blood sugar? It is basically certain that incomplete combustion of tobacco leaves will produce toxic and harmful substances, mainly nicotine, carbon monoxide, tar, etc. On the one hand, it will destroy human organ cells, such as the pancreas, which regulates human blood sugar. When the pancreas function is damaged, its function of secreting insulin will be weakened, thereby increasing the risk of diabetes. On the other hand, there is a natural ingredient in tobacco called nornicotine, which can cause blood vessels to constrict and spasm, reduce blood supply, and cause tissue ischemia and hypoxia. At the same time, it can also stimulate the secretion of adrenaline, causing blood sugar to rise and destroying blood sugar stability.

　　But even so, for people with diabetes, the most important thing is that smoking will increase the incidence of diabetic complications, especially fatal cardiovascular diseases. disease . High-density lipoprotein cholesterol in the human body can dilate blood vessels, inhibit platelet aggregation, and protect blood vessels. It is a good cholesterol that has a protective effect on blood vessels. Smoking lowers HDL cholesterol. At the same time, smoking will also increase low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, making it susceptible to oxidation. Oxidized low-density lipoprotein is the main substance that damages blood vessels. Studies have shown that long-term smoking can easily increase the "bad cholesterol" that causes damage to blood vessels, causing blood vessel contraction, thickening of vessel walls, narrowing of the lumen, and slow blood flow. It can also cause vasospasm, increase blood viscosity, cause tissue ischemia and hypoxia, aggravate cardiovascular and microvascular disease, and make diabetic patients suffer from "worse" pain. The most common ones are microvascular lesions in diabetic patients, causing microvascular and macrovascular thrombosis, retinopathy, vision loss, diabetic nephropathy, diabetic foot and other diseases.

　　Therefore, quitting smoking at any time will be beneficial to reducing the risk of diabetes. But at the same time, it is worth reminding that the period of quitting smoking is a critical moment to guard against diabetes. According to a report by Johns Hopkins University researchers in the new issue of the American Journal of Internal Medicine, people who quit smoking have a 70% risk of developing diabetes. The reason is that the stomach was under the influence of tobacco before, which easily damaged the gastric mucosa, leading to chronic gastritis. We often see that people who smoke have bad stomachs, and this is why they have bad stomachs. Once quitting smoking, smokers with a big appetite will have an increasing demand for snacks, which will also lead to obesity. Obesity has been confirmed as one of the main factors in the onset of type 2 diabetes.

　　Therefore, for smokers who quit smoking, they need to establish healthy Only by living a healthy lifestyle, eating a reasonable diet, exercising moderately, and maintaining an ideal weight can you effectively prevent the occurrence of diabetes.
