Question
I am a smoking cessation coach and I would appreciate very much if you could let me know where I can access information regarding diabetes and tobacco use.
I am aware that nicotine has an effect on
blood glucose
levels, but any additional information you feel could be of relevance to me, our clinic, and our doctor would be appreciated.
Answers
If you do a Google search on the Internet using key words "smoking and diabetes", it brings up 1,910,000 potential references. If you Google reversing the key words to "diabetes and smoking", it brings up 1,900,000 references. Information is to be had! There is a short description of each, so you can check to see if it is a downloadable brochure or other type of information you are specifically interested in.

A search of PubMed
for "smoking cessation" should pull up literature of interest, but PubMed doesn't reliably search phrases, and displays 9764 articles. So instead, enter the following into Google:
[site:ncbi.nlm.nih.gov "smoking cessation" pubmed diabetes] to force a search for the information you want, and look through only 475 articles at PubMed.
