Thanks Prof. Kamal for your best advise, I will definitely try and update yourself via this circle soon. more  

Diabetes and smoking combined, creates low-level inflammation throughout the body that affects the most important functions in the body such as the eyes resulting in blindness, painful nerve damage, kidney failure and can double the damaging effects as in heart problems. Quitting smoking reduces the risk of developing all major diabetes related complications. Nicotine raises A1c levels which means a very high circulating sugar level within the body. With a gradual reduction in smoking cigarettes each day, in the amount and frequency and an added Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) support, the end result is good. By focusing on a healthy diet with foods that reduce low-level inflammation, balance blood sugar and create optimal health, you will be able to quit smoking without any adverse effects. Green tea and pomegranates are strong antioxidants that help reduce smoking. Also Foods like turkey, chicken, beef, black beans and red kidney beans, salmon, sardines, turmeric, cinnamon, nuts and seeds also help. Better mood, balances blood sugar and reduces the urge to smoke. Stabilizing your blood sugar with right foods and exercise helps mitigate nicotine cravings. more

Hello, Prof. Bhattacharya I read you post & commented too. Now, this particular comment of mine is on the Comment offered by Prof. Umesh Kumar, which is of course, quite well-intensioned. #One of colleagues used to smoke 20 cigarettes a day. On adivise of a Dr., He tried the method of quitting by eating a chocolate ( toffee) whenever he had a desire for a smoke. The result was that he gained several pounds weight. Finally he restarted smoking. As far as i know, later he did quit smoking, ( but I do not know the mothod used by him, as he then was working outside India). #On the other hand, one Prof. Moitra, (a prof. IIT Kharagpur years back ) quit smoking in a day, in fact just in one moment. # Another example ( not quitiing smoking, but quitting drinkin). His Highness Kolhapur ( who was a Trustee of my Publis School, when I was student) quit drinking in a day ( after the Dr told him that he should). # My own experience. When I was young ( years back), I was not a chain smoker, but for days at end, I have smoked 20 cigarette4s a day. Then one fine day I just decided that I should stop for 1 year ( not only smoking, but drinking, which Im used to do occasionally ; also eating Sounf -- Badishep in Marathi, Variyali in Gujarati, Mauri in Bengali -- as well as seeing Movies, which I was very crazy of those days). I successfully did it for 1 year with no problem. Thereafter, I did smoke once in six months for at least a decade, after which I just stopped. I used to dink in Corporate parties sometimes (but vey limited). I did see movies occasionally, and I still eat Sounf occasionally. But, the craze is no more. Prof. Bhattacharya, congrats for quitting. One who does not have sufficient determination can try doing it in stages. S. Naik more
