Diabetic in the tropics (type 2)

[macnorfolk]

we are on holiday in Thailand. My husband is going as low carb as possible but still getting higher than expected sugar levels. (No medication). Has anybody any knowledge high temperature/humidity causing this problem.

Every time I go abroad I get excited, which I think is the cause of my raise in BS readings. ( I can't figure it out but did not let it spoil my breaks )

I spend protracted periods in the Tropics (not Thailand), and I don't notice anything. That said, I only started testing, after diagnosis, a few days before I went, so my numbers were coming down; then I stayed there for several months so acclimatised. When I've been back and forth, I haven't noticed anything laterial either.

During the summer, when the weather in the UK was very good, a number of forum members did notice raised levels, which, if I recall correctly, they were associating with slightly disturbed sleeping patterns and discomfort in the heat.
