Sethram Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Hey guys, long time no post!Anyway, I've been meaning to take my hookah over to a friends place as they've never smoked before. However, he's got diabetes and I'm not sure what kind of effect the molasses in the tobacco might have. I'd assume little since I've not heard anything about it and internet searches only bring up the negative effects of smoking cigarettes with diabetes.So any diabetics here smoke hookah? Does it screw with your blood sugar level any? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charley Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Im diabetic but I dont check my blood sugar so I cant tell you if it rasies it or not but I dont feel any different after smoking so i dont think it dose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giant Ninja Robot Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 agree with Coplin.I had type 2 when i was younger so i know about the beetis.There is so little sugar in the honey or molasses in shisha compared to say, oh, a soft drink or ANYTHING with high fructose corn syrup, including most of our breads and non-sweet snacks that it would imo be negligible.Also molasses and honey have lower glycemic index levels than many other sweeteners that we regulkarly consume.Have your friend take a test before smoking and then about 20-30 minutes after to see if he's having problems. Of course that would only work if he had a normal reading beforehand and didnt have a hypo/hyperglycemic issue in the process of smoking and didnt eat during the session.

Sonthert Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 The sugar doesn't vaporize, from what I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zyram Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 What Sonthert said, I don't think the sugar vaporizes, otherwise there'd be like a caramel left over in the bowl from the sugar having melted like that. I would think, not 100% but that's my story and I'll stick to it.-Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrotherBuford Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Even if it did, I don't think sugar can be absorbed by the lungs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sethram Posted April 23, 2009 Author Share Posted April 23, 2009 Thanks guys. I didn't think it'd be a problem, but I figured to err on the side of safety just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
