Hello,
I am currently on my first holiday abroad since diagnosis and have been very surprised by my blood sugar readings. I understand that the heat makes you more sensitive to insulin but I have spent most of my day on the verge of a hypo or actually having a hypo! I have had to check my sugars 10+ times today which is a lot for me (even interrupted me reading 'think like a pancreas'!) I cut down my bolus insulin by 2 units for my meal tonight and still ended up at 4.3mmol just 90 minutes after eating. So before bed I've had to eat AGAIN...I am frightened that I am going to turn in to a whale with all this extra food!
So has this happened to anyone else? Is this pretty normal when in a hot climate? I expected to get slightly lower readings but I am about 4-5mmols less post meal here than at home and before meals pretty close to a hypo which never happens at home.
Don't want another day of hypos that's for sure!
