Too hot

Hi, are you drinking enough water?
I eat less this weather but up my water from 2x 750ml bottles to nearly double. Might help.

The heat is killing me. I don't want to eat but I'm forcing myself to have soup and crackers but in 4 days I've been sick 3 times. I've never reacted this way before. I'm almost 74 and was diagnosed in 2004. Any ideas what I can do? I have 2 fans.

Do you know what your blood sugars are doing? Crackers, and soup, depending on what kind, can raise blood sugars. The heat can make you more sensitive to your own insulin. So you could be running high or low, either of which can make you feel off, and it helps to know which it is. Keep drinking water, it's so easy to get dehydrated.

Try footbaths with cool water, if your feet are fine. That might help some, if the fans aren't cutting it.

And should you get sick again, it'd be good if you call 111 and tell them you're diabetic and ill? It's something that could well require looking after by medical personnel.

Hope you feel better soon!

You could try a wet wrung out towel worn around your shoulders along with the 2 fans you have blowing?
Are your sure you haven’t caught a virus raising your temperature & causing you to be sick?
