Blood Sugar effects while Quitting Smoking

[routb]

Smokers find it tough to cope with the withdrawal symptoms and the Quit smoking side effects . But in spite of all the trouble undertaken, quitting smoking is much better than spoiling ones health by smoking.

The most common symptoms while quitting smoking are headache, inability to concentrate, dizziness, etc which are also connected to the decrease in blood sugar level. Decrease in blood sugar is the first side effect of quitting smoking. Insufficient supply of sugar to the brain leads to the inability of the brain to perform at optimal level. Cigarettes help the body to release its own stores of sugar and fat. This is also the reason for cigarette’s action as an appetite suppressant. It affects the satiety centers of the hypothalamus. Nicotine acts faster than food while food takes almost 20 minutes to raise the blood sugar level. Hence the quitter has a tendency to gulp down more food till he feels better. This extra food consumed every time increases the total number of calories and hence they put on more weight.

These symptoms are seen more vividly during the first three days because the body doesn’t know how to adjust the loss of nicotine in the body. But after a couple of days the body learns to readjust the release of sugar required by the body. The intake of food by the quitter also eventually decreases and the body efficiently manages the sugar level. The ex-smokers require more food than what they did when they were smoking. If the food level is not brought to normal he might suffer from the side effects of low blood sugar.

To avoid any future blood sugar complications due to the presence of nicotine in the body, one must refrain from cigarettes forever.
