Coping With Type One Diabetes In The Heat : Precautions You Can Take
I happened to see this on Diabetes Diet Blog and thought it one to share ...
Emma Baird (a type 1 diabetic ) writes:
"Heavens above—this isn’t a post I’ve needed to write before but the last few weeks of incredible sunshine and heat in Scotland (Scotland! I’ll say it again, Scotland!) necessitates it. If you’re a type 1, what special precautions do you need to take when the mercury rises? I prepared this handy infographic to help…
Please note—if you have neuropathy (nerve damage) this can affect your ability to sweat and therefore cool down. Go out early in the morning or later in the afternoon if you can, drink water to stay hydrated and exercise in air-conditioned gyms. Cut down on drinks with caffeine and alcohol, and take care of yourself as best you can."
This heat is a very scary to people that don't have problems, I feel so bad for those that have to worry and take precautions. Jan I hope you are enjoying your summer and staying safe :)

Good tips!
A good post! We have to take water with us everywhere here in Florida! It's HOT and we have to drink lots of water to stay healthy!
I don't have diabetes, but do have problem with heat. And yes, I go out early or late. With water.
Muchas gracias. Un beso.
