2.7.0.0 To­bac­co Use

Smok­ing may in­crease the risk of type 2 di­a­betes (40); there­fore, eval­u­a­tion for to­bac­co use and re­fer­ral for to­bac­co ces­sa­tion, if in­di­cat­ed, should be part of rou­tine care for those at risk for di­a­betes. Of note, the years im­me­di­ate­ly fol­low­ing smok­ing ces­sa­tion may rep­re­sent a time of in­creased risk for di­a­betes (40-42) and pa­tients should be mon­i­tored for di­a­betes de­vel­op­ment and re­ceive ev­i­dence-‍based in­ter­ven­tions for di­a­betes pre­ven­tion as de­scribed in this sec­tion. See Sec­tion 5 “Lifestyle Man­age­ment” for more de­tailed in­for­ma­tion.
