Is it true that smoking raises blood sugar levels and increases the risk of type 2 diabetes?
Yes. The CDC states directly that smokers have a 30% to 40% higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes and that nicotine raises blood sugar. Other sources add partial support, listing smoking as a diabetes risk factor or a prevention target.
