[QUOTE="phoenix, post: 119710, member: 12578"] Interesting experiment checking levels regularly is obviously the best thing to do. There are a couple of warning that others might need to think about so I hope you don't mind if I out them in your thread (someone might search for saunas at some time in the future) [b]If you take insulin,[/b] the heat from the sauna can cause the insulin to be absorbed more rapidly causing very fast drops in levels. Make sure you check your bg before during and after. [b]If you wear a pump,[/b] don't wear it in the sauna. The heat can degrade the insulin. This applies also to the insulin in the cannula, it can crystalise and clog up, so its important to change the set afterwards. [/QUOTE]
