Lowers mine very quickly, so always leave a good 1-2 hours before having a hot bath or show after bolusing.
The heat of the water increases blood flow to the skin area and speeds up the rate that insulin is absorbed.

Soaks in a hot or very warm bath , always made me feel worse .
The heat indeed speeds up the rate of insulin being absorbed .
Noblehead is right - post above .
Shower much preferred as I can bear a cooler refreshing shower .
Feel much more invigorated also with a shower .
So its showers only for me
