Overview of Tobacco Smoking and Diabetes Tobacco use is the single greatest cause of preventable disease and death in the United States. Tobacco use causes more deaths than AIDS, alcohol, motor vehicles fatalities, homicides, either illicit or illegal drugs, and suicide combined. About 7.8% of the United States population (23.6 million) has diabetes (sugar in the blood). In 2007, diabetes was the sixth leading cause of death. Diabetes-related complications include heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, blindness, kidney disease, nervous system disease (neuropathy), and amputations. More than 10 percent of Hispanics ages 20 years or older have been diagnosed with diabetes. Current research indicates that Hispanics tend to go undiagnosed with diabetes well into their middle-ages so the overall number may actually be much higher. This means that the majority of Hispanics with diabetes do not know they have it until later on in life. They can live, unknowingly, with the disease and may not know until something tragic occurs as it did to Lucia in the story. It is important for Hispanics to understand that they need to get themselves examined for diabetes. Source: http://www.ndep.nih.gov/media/FS_HispLatino_Eng.pdf?redirect=true People who smoke and have diabetes are: 1) more likely to get nerve damage and kidney disease 2) three times more likely than nonsmokers to die of cardiovascular disease 3) more likely to have elevated blood sugar levels, making it harder to!control diabetes.
