Does heat affect your bgs?

Going from a 7 to a 4 reading (approximised) and vice versa in a type 1 could be quite significant for a type 1 though (only writing from a type 1 experience).

Me personally as a type 1 have experienced large swings (prior to pump that I can adjust better) in my blood levels for heat....unfortunately mine always dipped significantly.......

Interesting to read that that type 2's can go higher, as mine as a type 1 always dipped significantly too much-the worst being last July when I almost lost my licence!!!
