Alcohol and cigarettes can produce complications in a normally healthy person (e.g. high blood pressure, cholesterol to name a few). So please tell the person you know not to drink or smoke. Besides the health effects, there could be a lot of side effects from medications if you drink and take medicines.
Have your friend visit a doctor (endocrinologist).

I'm a 45 year old woman and was recently diagnosed as being a borderline diabetic. My doctor prescribed some medication, but before filling it I decided to do some research on the internet which led me to the methods. After reading this ebook and applying the methods, my scepticism turned to 100% belief. I noticed that my energy levels increased significantly and I felt more rested in the morning, my symptoms started going away.
I am very happy to tell you that I have been feeling better than I have felt in years and my doctor informed me that he will be taking me off my prescriptions if I keep this up.
I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

Yes, absolutely, especially cigarrettes. As for why does a diabetic smoke and drink, free will. Not everybody does what their doctor recommends. The unfortunate thing is that people who do that are adding risk factor on top of risk factor and are far more likely to have a heart attack or a stroke, having diabetes alone is a risk for heart disease (among other things) and smoking only makes it worse.
So, can you do it? Sure, nobody's going to stop you, but your friend is playing with fire, and I hope that he stops before his first heart attack.

Diabetics are like everybody else: some will heed doctor's advice and follow their orders for the sake of their health and some will not. You could tell him this is shortening his life span. But then again he might be doing those things to cope with his diabetes and life. I would just stay out of it. He/she will reap the consequences of his/her behavior.

Well everyone should avoid smokes. They are so hard on the system.
There is no reason to avoid moderate amounts of alcohol.We need to remember that alcohol lowers blood sugar so we need to eat when we drink.
Not everyone does what their doctors advise. It is their own business.

I know several diabetics that drink like a fish (and a few that smoke). If they know they have diabetes, they also know what's bad for them. It's their concern, not your's.

Smokers and drinkers are not the brightest bulbs in the bucket . . . you are probably getting yourself into a lost cause, they are true slaves to the chemicals. Only very strong minded people can make the change . . . and don't fall for the 'I'm trying to change' because I've seen them use that to milk people for support for YEARS.
Put the good info out there but don't hold your breath waiting.

Alcohol for sure, it is full of sugar and carbohydrates, but cigarettes, I don't know about.

Just let it go. Don't concern yourself with your co-worker's habits. He'll be the one with the complications in the future.
