I have found that when summer comes along with increased heat hypo's do happen more often, think it;;s something to do with how the sun can increase blood flow to the skin. Pretty sure somebody else can confirm. Then we also have extra activity, granted you mentioned you were walking, however with the sun often comes extra activity such as swimming, walking further or other sport activities all of which can lower blood sugar levels. On the flip side, there always is with diabetes I have found, you can also be at risk from hyper's because of heat induced stress or dehydration. Always drink extra water when the heat increases!Your greatest friend here is your CGM and if the result does not confirm how you feel then, if possible, perform a blood test from your finger.Hope the above helps and welcome to the club!</blockquote>
