Hot weather hypos

[Amberzak]

Learn from my lessons. Lol.

well, it's that time of year again. Admittedly not having as many hypos as I was when on multiple injections, but I forgot to reduce my background insulin amount yesterday so had a hypo. Then today I remembered to put background insulin to 50% (on pump) but forgot at lunch that I didn't need as much insulin.

The hypo was so bad. At first I thought it was just dizziness because the classroom was so stuffy. I had two packets of skittles. Now got a real bad headache.

So remember fellow diabeticarians, in this hot weather, stay vigilant, listen to your body, and test your sugars. You should always have hypo stuff on you, but even more so have it in this hot weather. And drink plenty of water 🙂

I was very ill with a hypo yesterday then it went the other way. I think I rushed to much in the heat on the way home. for over 50 minutes boiling and walking. Today i took it easier and bought a bottle of ice cold water 15 minutes in, went in the shade when I could. No headache today. And caught myself at 5.2 feeling shaky and manged to beat it too it.

I love hot weather but not with my normal life in the way, holidays are differentas you can relax.

Take care all!

I had the opposite yesterday with a big spike in BG. It surprised me as I hadn't eaten anything to cause a spike. It was suggested that it was caused by the hot weather and dehydration.

I myself have had a few hypos during the day with the weather and it's hard to tell when you sweat if it's cause of hypo or the weather
