A member asked:
What can chewing tobacco do to someone's body that have diabetes?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Tobacco and diabetes: Tobacco increases blood sugar levels, making your diabetes harder to control. Chewing tobacco and diabetes make a dangerous combination when it comes to eyes, nerve tissue, teeth and gums. My recommendation is to quit now before it's too late. Take care.
