Hi Everyone
I notice there has been some discussion about what impacts BGLs. There is an interesting USA site called diatribe and it has as part of its resources a chart listing 42 factors impacting BGLs. It also shows their likely impact - increase/decrease.
The site address is diatribe.org/42factors.
My CDE said there are probably and I am sure that our group can add some more based on their experience and it would be interesting to have that input.
I find summer heat has a huge impact on my levels, they go higher. When the cold weather comes I find they start to fluctuate again for a while.
I tend to keep my insulin in the fridge during summer and carry it in a cool case when I go out, working away from the house or travelling. I have on occasion swapped out the pen refills early if I am at all unsure of possible environmental impact.
Looking forward to hearing from you
