does taking a bath lower your sugers ????

I was wondering if taking a bath\shower lowers your blood sugars because it has been when I go in the shower my sugars will drop !!! I was just wondering if this happens to anyone else ?? Thanks

Yes it happens to me especially if I take a bath in the evening.i assume its because insulin is absorbed quicker with heat. So the little bit of insulin remaining from dinner will cause me to go hypo. I've found a cooler bath helps-can't stay in there too long either!
