If you have diabetes, heat can affect your blood sugar — especially if you use insulin or your blood sugars aren’t effectively managed. Hot weather may affect your blood sugar levels depending on:

What you’ve eaten
Whether you’re well-hydrated
Your activity level

If your blood sugars are mostly higher than 250 mg/dl, you should improve your blood sugar before engaging in heavy physical activity, regardless of the climate and the temperature.

Humidity can also play a role. Moist heat means your sweat takes longer to evaporate and can cause your body to work harder to cool you off.

Here’s how the heat can affect you:

🔴It may cause low or high blood sugar
🔴It may lead to dehydration
🔴It may damage your diabetes medication and equipment

Diabetes doesn’t have to sideline you from fun outdoor activities. You may just need to find the right time of day to enjoy summer (or another time of year).

Caring for yourself is just as important as caring for others. 💙
