Smoking has a complex impact on the immune system, affecting both innate and adaptive immunity. It can exacerbate pathogenic immune responses and attenuate defensive immunity, leading to a higher susceptibility to infections and certain diseases. The chemicals in cigarette smoke, such as nicotine and carbon monoxide, can alter immune cell functions and inflammatory responses. Smoking can also have long-term effects on the immune system, with some changes persisting even after quitting [1]. According to a Penn Medicine Physician, the Medical Oncologist Dr. David Porter, “People who are smokers tend to get sicker from infections”, “It may be that smoking impacts the immune system’s ability to respond appropriately”. Thus, such individuals within smoking exposure history might be considered as immunocompromised due to the altered and weakened immune system. Cigarette smoking is a prevalent habit with far-reaching health implications. Among its many adverse effects, smoking significantly alters the immune system’s functionality [1].

Positive diagnosis of diabetes is currently easy, but typing diagnosis of diabetes still remains a challenge for every clinician. It is currently accepted that types of diabetes apart from T1D and T2D can expand and include several forms of diabetes mellitus;From gestational diabetes, to all forms of secondary diabetes mellitus due to medications, intercurrent disease but also infections, and finally monogenic diabetes, whose diagnosis is not always easy to establish. The aim is to reveal the difficulties that clinicians may face in the process of etiological diagnosis regarding the suspicion of this type of monogenic diabetes, through the study of 2 cases, in which MODY type diabetes was suspected. Today we recognize 17 different genetic mutations that can all lead to MODY diabetes, the most common mutation of which is GCK coding for the glucokinase, the real sensor of pancreatic Beta-cell. The truly stable glycemic profile, with an A1C ranging between 7% and 7.5%, confirmed with a TIR always above 70% and a good MAGE, but also the rarity of degenerative complications and pharmacological therapeutic abstention which can last for years, these would be the most striking clinical characteristics of a GCK MODY.
