HUBUNGAN PENGGUNAAN ROKOK ELEKTRIK TERHADAP GLUKOSA DARAH PADA KOMUNITAS VAPERS SUN COLLEGE
Abstract
Background: Prediabetes occurs when blood sugar levels are higher than usual, one of the
causes of an increase in blood sugar is cigarettes. Nowadays, it is well known for conventional
cigarettes, many active cigarettes have been moved, namely electric cigarettes. The increase in
the use of electric cigarettes is not in line with the research produced by e-cigarettes. Electric
cigarettes have various content in them such as nicotine. As is known, the influence of nicotine
on insulin is a decrease in insulin secretion, a negative effect on insulin work due to activation of
the hormone catecholamine, changes in pancreatic β cells and the development of insulin
resistance
Objective: To determine whether there is a relationship between Electric Cigarette and blood

Method: Analytical descriptive research design, the research used in this study was cross

occasional smokers, and controls. Average daily fasting blood glucose 86.59, occasionally
81.82, controls 77.68. The Chi-Square results showed a significance of 0.72 (p> 0.05),
explaining that e-cigarettes were not related to changes in fasting blood sugar. The average
daily body mass index is 24.61, occasionally 23.65, controls 22.99. The Chi-Square results show
a significance of 0.27 (P> 0.05) so that this result describes e-cigarettes Not related to the body
mass index of the respondents. There were significant differences using the Mann Whitney
analysis test namely political differences in the daily-occasional group of 0.01 (P <0.05), daily
control sig 0.00 (P <0.05) and daily weight-group control control sig 0.034. (P <0.05)
Conclusion: There is no significant relationship between the use of e-cigarettes and blood
