I absolutely hate the heat. It's not because of the diabetes, although it does seriously affect it, but my makeup. Since a small child I have always associated it with pain, my joints swell up. All I can do, apart from going to a cold climate every summer, is to keep from going out in it if possible, have a fan on me all the time, wear thin loose clothing and sipping water, room temperature,, every ten minutes. Also sitting in a darkened room with the windows wide open can help.Talking to a fellow diabetic found that we both really fear the heat as makes us feel really ill so anyone else too and just how do you deal with it
