Freestyle Libre Two Sensors

In my experience, the heat of a sauna will affect the readings from Libre.
However, after about an hour, it was fine again.
 
Do be aware that saunas and hot tubs can cause hypos so don't rely on the Libre readings to be accurate and to keep you safe.
 
Hi @mjd123mjd Mark,

As well as @rebrascora's response detailing the risks, I believe @everydayupsanddowns has given a bit of information about saunas in response to this thread from March 2023 about sun exposure, and heat. You can take a look here: https://forum.diabetes.org.uk/boards/threads/sun-exposure-and-diabetes.105259/#post-1245349.

It would be worth discussing with your healthcare team too, if you're unsure or concerned about this.

If you have any further questions, feel free to ask away - we're all here to help 🙂
