[QUOTE="TriciaWs, post: 2520517, member: 475901"] I really struggle with the heat, started some years before I became a T2. However, due to treatments for endometriosis I also went through the menopause 4 times, with horrendous hot flushes every time. So I developed a hot flush travel pack, that does for too hot days now. Wet wipes, panty pads, a cooling spritz face spray (cucumber is good), maybe a cooling foot spray too and extra strength deodorant. When travelling to work on public transport I'd even take a change of undies! In public, use the wet wipes on your forehead, behind your ears and on the inside of your wrists. If available, put your wrists under a cold tap/cold water to cool your body temp down faster. Bedtime routine is a cool shower, and just a cotton sheet on top of you. I even have the cooling gel pillow mats to keep my head and neck cool in bed. [/QUOTE]
