Message: <blockquote data-quote="SimonP78" data-source="post: 2726163" data-attributes="member: 556474">So you get an actual BG rise rather than just the CGM producing a higher number, that's certainly interesting?My libre2 spikes up when I have a (hot) shower, but then drops back down as soon as I get out - afaiu this is not a change in my actual BG but rather the sensor misreading due to either higher interstitial flow, or a temperature calibration issue. I've never seen my actual BG remain raised (once the CGM would have dropped back down) post-shower.One interesting thing that's not been mentioned is that hot showers and baths can actually produce (real as well as CGM apparent) lower BG due to increased blood flow to peripheral tissues where insulin has been injected. I seem to remember from reading about this that it tends to happen to people who have lipohypertrophy (i.e. lumps) which would normally significantly delay absorption.</blockquote>
