Aim:
The purpose of this secondary analysis was to identify the characteristics of smokers with type 2 diabetes, enrolled in a smoking cessation program.
Background:
The health consequences of smoking are particularly severe for individuals with diabetes who smoke.
Methods:
The characteristics of 227 smokers with type 2 diabetes were analyzed to determine which traits were more likely to be associated with quit success.
Results:
Results of the data analysis indicate that smokers with type 2 diabetes were more likely to be abstinent 30 days and 6 months after the quit date if they attended a majority of the program classes and support groups; and used cessation medications. Expressing concerns about the expense of cigarettes was also associated with quit success at 6 months.
Conclusions:
Although studies have examined compliance with other diabetes care recommendations, few have evaluated the characteristics of individuals with diabetes who smoke.
