[QUOTE="kitedoc, post: 1828642, member: 468714"] Adelaidean summers reach maximums of 40 degrees C. I have to reduce basal insulin by 20% or so, boluses also. I do clothes washing late morning, and hang it inside on a drying rack with a portable fan blowing through it. So the electricity is used both to dry clothes and through evaporation cool me. The house is kept closed and I have insulated roller shutters on all windows. I also 'cheat' sometimes by going to air-conditioned shopping malls and libraries during the hottest part of the day (but travelling there before the heat sets in.) In retirement that is possible but I imagine many of you work in cool offices but it is harder on those working outside and for travelling to and fro work. Perhaps we need to take a leaf out of desert dwellers' books and dress up in thick robes and minimise exertion? As always, hydration, hydration, hydration. [/QUOTE]
