So I don't want to sound grumpy or miserable as I know most people are sun worshippers who love summer.
But I absolutely detest it. I can't cope with it at all. I've been type 1 for 10 years now and since I was diagnosed I feel so unwell in the heat and sun once it reaches about 19 degrees.
It's barely 21C today and my sugars shot up to the 20s and I thought I was going to pass out on the bus because I couldn't breathe. It makes me feel so weak and like my body is on fire even when my sugars aren't like that. I only sweat on my forehead and I overheat. I also am on the hyper mobility spectrum and I've been told that drains electrolytes really bad and diabetes also does that too which is why I get so faint and nauseated.
I've had 2 litres of water since 1pm (one with Sneak which contains electrolytes) and I haven't been gone to the toilet yet.
Does anyone else with diabetes feel this way in summer/late spring?
