BY Mamie Doris 2018-05-31The reason why diabetes may occur is that the cigarette addiction is relatively large. Because long-term smokers will have increased tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) concentration, and tumor necrosis factor alpha can down-regulate glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4), inhibit insulin-mediated glucose transport, and reduce insulin-stimulated glucose uptake, resulting in Increased blood sugar induces diabetes. In addition, tumor necrosis factor alpha can also promote the decomposition of fat cells and the release of free fatty acids, indirectly induce insulin resistance, which leads to the occurrence of diabetes.5
