Brief Answer:
Management of withdrawal symptoms
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
With a history of diabetes and heart problems, it was wise of you to cut back from 10 shishas per day (which is an excessive amount even for a healthy person) to one per day. The ideal target is to cut back completely, however this should be done very gradually in order to avoid withdrawal symptoms. If you are experiencing such symptoms already, I advice you to maintain your habit of one shisha per day for the time being and try to implement a healthy lifestyle, mild increase of physical activity and hydration. In a few weeks, you may try to reduce the amount of shisha until you gradually come to a complete stop.
In the mean time, it is very important that you have regular check ups with your primary care doctor or endocrinologist and cardiologist.
I hope this answers your question. Take care.
