How is everyone dealing in this heat with there diabetes? Any tips?

Im struggling, bloods havent been to bad but ive had an upset belly, bit off food and a headache, staying hydrated but still feel a bit off.
 
I'm just drinking loads of water, but don't have much of an appetite. I did have a dodgy tummy for 24 hours.
 
I’ve run away to Northumberland :rofl:

Protein smoothies and other cold options can be a good choice with low appetite. My kid lives off watermelon and other fruit and smoothies.
 
Sorry to hear about your upset tum @lauren1993x

Folks have been sharing their hot weather thoughts in this other thread too

Thread 'How are we all coping'

How are we all coping in this not so mini heat wave, not just diabetes wise, but generally.

For us it means getting up at 6am to take the dogs out for a walk, but it does make for a very long day.
Breakfast on the patio is nice at 8am, but lunch is out of the question in 30 degrees in full sun.
Sleeping is ok for me as I take a sleeping pill, not so good for my wife or the dogs, but we do have a ceiling fan in the bedroom.

All in all we are coping, but our main concern is always the dogs
