How harmful for your health is it for a diabetic to drink and smoke on a daily basis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Horrible: Smoking= even if control sugar well, which should markedly reduce diabetic complications- they are not reduced at all if you smoke alcohol more related to poor sugar control, highs and lows but it also increases risk of diabetic nerve disease.
