Thinking of going skiing this winter but wondering does altitude affect blood sugar readings? Has anyone had problems skiing and staying up high?
 
Exercise and cold temperatures are likely to have more effect on blood glucose levels than moderate altitudes as found at European or North American ski resorts. Have good trip.
