Why do people with diabetes feel more heat?

I believe that each person is in one way, do not worry, if you have always been cold is normal.

The thermostat has broken since I am diabetic.Before I was cold at all hours, and now I am Doña Calores.

I am that I am already with the hot flashes so ...

It is my first diabetic summer.Since last October I am insulin.

Heat does not affect me as much as years ago.What tires me - in Madrid - is that we have been with these temperatures for several weeks.No waves like other years.

What I have noticed is that I have altered the food-insulin ratio with these temperatures.Both more and less.
Example: The same breakfast with the same insulin, which made me a normal curve, now the same goes to 300 and I have to click or do not go from 140 and I have to eat something to not get in hypoglycemía.And I'm not on vacation yet ...

Good morning
It seems to me a very "summery" thread and adequate this one that considers heat.And not because of the heat itself, but by how it affects each other.
I personally need more insulin.Endocrine explanation: in winter, with the cold and with a thin constitution like mine, calories of food are burned to regulate the temperature.Less insulin is needed.Good reasoning, convinces me.I also notice that at this time it takes me faster.
And as I am from the south, from 35 degrees I am like fish out of the water.Bad, I have been bad enough.And that with air conditioning, practically all day: well sunny attic.

All the best.

All day and all night, I am also from the south.

I correct, also at night, as @meginer says.Air conditioning, all day.

Greetings.

Man always not, but I don't know why I have diabetes for 31 years, I have no memory in that sense, but younger if I endured the cold now not ..

@meginer @sorprende Madrid is already the south too, hahahaha

Center of Spain ... A horror, and the north almost.In Soria 37 ° C to die

Well, that if following this dialogue of geography and temperatures, we say that almost all of Spain is supporting extreme heat temperatures, and that we, as diabetics, are more sensitive to them.Surely it also affects other patients.
I think that we have set aside the initial reasoning exposed by @Fer, and that I consider important: the affectation of the nerves by poor irrigation, already by the same diabetes or for age.

All the best.

It will seem a lie to you but I would like 37, hehe, with the 43 Q we have lately

Well, I do not suffer the heat to the DB or at least I think or not it is the most influential factor.What happens is that I hate the heat also the heat in the south is not 30 but more than 40y for many months, that is why to joke a little.

Well, we are talking about heat and diabetes.He who has something to say about the nerves will say it, but we can also comment on how we affect and vent ourselves ... 😊😊

Fear gives me back to Madrid.I am spending some days in Asturias really joyful.I have seen that the prediction for Madrid is heat without truce 14 days.What I am doing bad is that I do not cool at night, it makes me very bad body.

Excuse me that I laugh but I read the comments you leave and I agree with almost everyone ...

I have been with diabetes for more than 30 years and I have always said that it is not normal for all the thermometers that I buy that I do not reach 36 degrees, ... In my case it is because of a thyroid issue and my body temperature is lower thanThe "normal" but if it is hot I have to endure the heat and if it is cold and weight 52 kg (quite little chicha) because I am a whopping nose ... but I do not think it is by diabetes, the way in which each oneFeel heat is as variable as people are.

I almost never have a fever but when I have 36.7 I'm already delirious almost ...

I don't like anything, I'm sorry to say so, these "weakening" comments about having diabetes.

I am a little to the hat and apology that I take to vent, that diabetics are always considered weaker, more fragile, because no ... much less also to put that label ourselves.

Yes, it is difficult to live with her sometimes but this suffers more heat ...

HAPPY SUNDAY AND YOU ARE MORTS THE 40 degrees of today (in Madrid, those who live in warmer latitudes, my condolences ...)

Heat affects insulin.If you put the insulin and then give yourself a hot shower it will absorb faster and if you get cold then, the other way around, it also depends where.If the insultin is heated more than 30 degrees spoils or works less, let's say it loses efficiency so it is working at 80% 70% ... or less, who knows, so having it refrigerated.

But that is an issue because with heat blood vessel

I have proven at least for me, that if I am in hyperglycemia, I have much more heat than normal.In Hipo, the opposite!This does not happen to anyone?

Hello this of the heat that affects the diabetics more, I do not know where they have taken it from.I have been 40 years and it affects me the same what happens is that every year makes climate change every year.Also because of the heat that is absorbed before insulin makes some sense and that you have hyperglycemia because insulin has lost effectiveness for heat that has happened to me.

Good, I always sweat sweated in times of heat, I don't remember that it is X diabetes (28 years old, with 52 age)
Rather, I always endured the heat because of that sweat that "refresca" ... despite the shirt is soaked!🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️At less my feeling.

Ami cooled my feet and nose hahaha is not a joke huh?I'm dressed in summer but at home I go with wool socks and I'm rubbing my nose to try to heat it.
And if since I am diabetics I am Doña Calores.
