I get this problem in the bath or shower, I asked the doctor whether it could be the hot water because every time I will hypo. The doctor said that heat cannot affect my blood sugars
I'm the opposite , I need more basal in the summer particularly when it's hot and less in the depths of winter. Never have found an answer to this as the general consensus is the opposite i.e. low in heat , high in winter !
I normally get caught out each seasonal change i.e. go too high in the transition to summer and vice versa and have hypos in the winter (before I can adjust my basal properly)
Well as my body has it breathing changes your blood glucose numbers Diabetes is unique to the individual so what makes your blood glucose levels change might not make mine change.Can a change of temperature have impact on your blood glucose values? If so, how and what causes it?
Apologies - I wrote this alongside the name Olive Grace Whoops. I am Judith McDonaldYes, as in several reports here my I need to increase my insulin dosages in the SUMMER months and reduce as the the winter approaches. Often it is simply the nighttime long acting dose only which needs adjustment. I have worked running diabetes clinics in general practice for over 26 years as well as being a type 1 diabetic myself (for 60 years)! We are all individuals and this applies to our diabetic control and also anyconsequential effects of the condition. I now have the Libre 2 sensor which has been life changing after some 45 years of finger pricking! Guaranteed to improve HBA1c levels if used regularly with correct insulin adjustments as required.
Btw did you realise you were replying to a question that was asked 6 years ago?Well as my body has it breathing changes your blood glucose numbers Diabetes is unique to the individual so what makes your blood glucose levels change might not make mine change.
What would the doctor know unless he/she was diabetic him/herself? Most are clueless!I get this problem in the bath or shower, I asked the doctor whether it could be the hot water because every time I will hypo. The doctor said that heat cannot affect my blood sugars
