So today is ridiculously hot. I’ve already drank nearly 1.5 litres of water but have headache so probably not enough.
Anyhoos.
This is my first hot weather since diagnosis.
The last time we had hot weather was last year and I ended up in hospital with kidney stones and told I was diabetic.
So today I feel quite anxious about it all.
So, as diabetic do we need to do anything different in the hot weather? Or is it normal stuff like drink, shade etc. Is there an increased risk with diabetes of anything, do we need to be more careful or is it just carry on as normal.
I’m off out later (I do rock choir and we have a gig) but they have agreed to let me have water (which I’m stashing in a ruck sack on my back) along with my testing stuff and snacks just in case.
I’m not feeling the most amazing at the moment but that could just be anxiety.
I don’t tend to let diabetes stop me from doing what I would normally do although I might get more stressed about it.
So I’m donning my hat and off to cut the grass and listen to the songs we are performing later and hope I remember the lyrics and harmonies.
Anyhoos.
