Nicotine replacement effecting blood sugar levels.?

I am a non-diabetic and have recently quit smoking and I am on nicotine patches. I had gestational while pregnant 5 years ago. I still have my meter and test my sugar often. My levels after fasting for 8 hours is an average of 104-115. I am just wondering if nicotine replacement patchs can cause blood sugar levels to go up. I do get some symptoms like I had when I was pregnant with gestational diabetes. I have to use the bathroom often. When I dont eat like I should, I tend to get weak but my blood sugar levels are above 100. I dont want to be a worry wart, but I also want to know if this is enough of a concern for me to talk to my family doctor about.

I would have a fasting blood drawn by the doctor to rule out Type 2 diabetes. Since you had it gestationally, you may have developed Type 2. The patches should not have anything to do with your blood sugars. Are you eating more since you quite smoking? Maybe you are taking in more carbohydrates and that is boosting your sugars.

why use a nicotine replacement like a patch ?? are you trying to support your body's nicotine addiction ? i ask since that's essentially what you're doing, you keep supplying nicotine, except now it's thru a patch, instead of a cig.

NICOTINE SUBSTITUES DON'T WORK

take it from me, i quit cold turkey, with NO withdrawals or side effects. all i did was read this book.. and i wasn't even planning on quitting ;)
