Hiya folks,

Haven't been online for a while. Hope all the regulars are good!

Was wondering about this earlier. Now, we know that hot baths can raise you bs levels, I was wondering if the converse could help achieve the opposite i.e. could cold showers help keep levels down?

Any ideas?

I already am but it's hard work!! When the water first hits you, you're like :shock: literally! It wakes you up (as you can imagine) but I don't know about the effects on my bs as I have had no strips to test for a fair few months now.

Hot baths drop my BG more than a marathon, weird how things effect us sooo differently!
I only know of cold showers curing one thing :wink:
