Yes. Air pollution affects diabetes.

Particulate matter (PM) or traffic-related air pollutants found in smoke, haze and car exhaust increase the risk of developing insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes.

Pre-diabetic patients who already have an impaired glucose metabolism are particularly vulnerable to the effects of air pollution. You can read more here - diabetely.com/diabetely-die...

Not only air pollution,but water,noise,dust and light pollution have a direct and deleterious effects on diabetics.Loss of sleep,itching,stomach disorders,uneasiness,stress etc throw all our diabetes management plans out of gear.My personal experience has shown that until I tackled the issues of breathing problem and sleeplessness diabetes could not be properly managed.
