It is also very hot, though not as hot as UK. I would love to get off insulin but being realistic I expect to be increasing the dose from October onwards. I also feel very hot because the body is opening capillaries and pumping blood, I believe warmed by burning glucosem to the extremities to help cool the body down. Enjoy the warmth, keep your carbs down and reduce the dose of insulin very gradually. While you want to prevent hypo., reducing dose is I believe, better than eating high Glycemic Index foods.</p></blockquote><p></p>
