Smoking increases the risk of heart disease and stroke because nicotine will form a resistance to insulin, resulting in pre-diabetic condition. Researchers believe that conditions will increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. Insulin resistance is known as pre-diabetic condition, which is when the blood sugar levels increased but not to the level of diabetes. It was explained by the researcher.
The researchers also reported that they tried to reduce the harmful effects of nicotine on experimental rats by using Mecamylamine. Researchers say insulin resistance on smokers explain why their deaths was caused by cardiovascular diseases, although in some cases, smoking can lose weight which was believed could protect against heart disease.
Our research concluded that a decrease of insulin resistance may reduce a heart disease. We learned to anticipate it in the future. Later there will be a drug which is made to block the effects of nicotine or insulin resistance. When smokers experience insulin resistance, then their blood sugar level increased but has not reached the level of diabetes. Another study revealed, a man aged between 35-44 years old have a higher risk for developing diabetes than women the same age. As much of 2.4 percent that is 92,960 men in the UK having diabetes compared to women as much as 1.2 percent or about 47,000. Diabetes cases in the UK are increase, especially for men four times more than in 1996. In the 45-54 years age group which is approximately 54.6 percent of men or 197,050 men and 3.6 percent women as much of 120,670 people affected by diabetes.
