Does heat influence glycemia?

Hello everyone

Practically since the heat began I feel how I need more insulin.It happens to me every year.On one occasion I asked the doctor and told me that with the cold the body burned more calories, which meant needing less insulin.It was the explanation he gave me.

Does it happen to you?Do you have any other explanation?

Greetings.

In summer I always need less insulin, before I had many hypos, I had to multiply x 3 analytics not to fall round to the ground.

1ro you must clarify the type of diabetes what you have;) Remember type 2 are insulin resistant so it should be contrary to us type 1 we need less in heat.If you are type 2, of course you will need more because your body uses insulin for your basic needs that increases when they heat (sweating, thirst, urination etc) but as you are also fighting for using the injections to digest and absorb your food, you will be missing.The best thing for you would be in addition to insulin, complement with metformin (glycophage?) Thing what do you inject can enter your cells with the help of the medication.So that you do not come low you can ask your doctor for a minimum dose: Start with 500mg (they come from 750, 850, 1700 depends on your country).Check if before with the doctor, because if there is renal damage, it cannot be used because it kills the kidney due to the effort.
Then when the cold comes, you return to your usual doses!>: D <

@Sorprendido I am Type 1, just like @jconegar I need less insulin, today I have a day for example that I do not know if I will rolling from what I take to the body to overcome and almost without insulin.
This year is the first to have this change with a bomb, and I am starting bikini operation that will end in operation that well cover the couple if I follow this step xD hahaha

That with bomb are you more beautiful !!!!That looks good @gemater !!!!!

@jconegar will not be because hide it, today I first come out with short sleeve, pump and sensor in sight ... well even photos made me, haha
Already the fourth person that I wonder I told him that the sensor is the last piercing model of the XD market

Hahaha forgive Gemater today was reviewing the entire forum, he had been disconnected for a few days, he had not read it.Well, it will be better when you see the catheter when you wear a top or on the beach hahaha.Life and so much gadget, they will think that you are from the CNI hehehe.

Insulin may be absorbed faster and there may be a tendency to hypos ..

Well, it's not to take the opposite

Type I and my experience of other summers is that I need more insulin

@Joseludi do not do the fare, this is not mathematical each we are a world.I need less, but it really is not because of the heat, but because I move even more, to go to the beach, go to the pool, go and go to the beach when I work every day.
And if I need more insulin it is because there are more tapas in the bars (well there is no more I want to say) when you leave the beach hahaha, and then more sport to lose what, that is, one things for another in the end

In my case, I clearly have the lowest glycemia.For about 10 days, I have had to stop putting my food quickly in the food (I put very few units) and that I am in the last quarter of pregnancy.But the heat has been to come, and Zas down, although better than better.
I do not know very well that explanation can have, but it has to do that with the heat accelerates the metabolism, but no idea.In addition, there are people who are the other way around, they have more insulin.

In my case, go to the beach I would be to get hundreds of kilometers, hehehe

I blame it that the heat can a lot and I tend to "hibernate" how the bears do in winter, but in my case it is in summer and with the heat.My summer seasons usually look like reptiles when hours and hours are thrown out of the site (only that I make it lying in front of the TV with the air conditioning and some beer).I try to remedy going out almost dusk for running (but it is not enough because in summer you cannot run so much and with such intensity)

@joseludi If you look at the hours of my training in summer you make me crazy up hahaha.
