I just found out a few weeks ago I have type 2 diabetes. I am so glad I quit smoking 3 years ago. There are so many bad things that happen to a smokers body and to add diabetes on top of that, major problems. My extra weight had it's consequences. Now portion control and exercise are my new challengers.
My only concern for anyone who may read this is please don't not quit smoking for fear of gaining a few pounds. I was overweight b-4 I quit smoking and only gained a small amount of weight since I quit. Diabetes runs in my family as does obesity as well as C.O.P.D.
