[QUOTE="crystal, post: 47377, member: 6649"] I've had Type 1 for 15 years, on a pump since last April. My problem is abnormal insulin sensitivity, which gets worse during very cold weather, causing lots of hypos, despite reducing the insulin. I think this is the coldest winter since I was diagnosed and the effect is much worse than ever before. I wonder if the pump is also making it more noticeable. I've even switched off the pump for over an hour mid-morning and still had a hypo just before lunch! My blood glucose goes back up to the usual levels on mild days, so I'm in no doubt that it is affected by the temperatures. However my consultant says there is no evidence that cold temperatures affect blood glucose levels, with or without a pump, so there isn't any useful advice available, but I can't believe that I'm a minority of one. Is there anybody else out there with the same problem? I'd be grateful for any information at all. Crystal [/QUOTE]
