Hi everyone! Today is day 13 in my quit. I had a low blood sugar incident occur this morning while getting ready for work. I was sweating and my hands were trembling, I recognized the symptoms shortly after they started. I carry glucose tablets in my purse, I poped a few in my mouth, and all was well again. I was diagnosed with pre diabetis several years ago. Since quitting, through educating myself on the dangers of smoking, I have learned that smoking contributes to the excess sugar deposited into the blood stream, as well as contributing to the bad cholestrol in your blood. So guess what? I plan to have my primary provider do blood work here shortly. I may be pleasantly suprised to see that all of my numbers are much better since quitting. Who knows......I may be able to come off of some of this medication I currently take. As for my smoking........still a non smoker. I have adoped the NOPE (Not one puff ever)...........Also, I keep a sign on my desk "Today I am Free and Today, I continue to Heal". I wish everyone a great Holiday, Smokless Weekend!
