My Pump Blog

So on the news this morning which I am sure you have all seen but it’s going to be 35c – wow what a scorcher.

This heat plays havoc with my BG levels through the day and especially in the evening once I am home from work, last night when I got home from work before dinner I was 7.2 then had dinner but a little less insulin, woke up at 12.15am as it was hot to 3.2.

The most frustrating part of this for me as that this morning I am 12.2 ggggggrrrrrrrr.

I also have another problem as I use an Animas Vibe Insulin Pump which is the easy bit however in the heat I find the cannula can peel off the skin, however I have found something called Tac Wipes which are also available from Animas. Certainly worth asking the question as these work very well.

So trying to keep hydrated and BG levels up as the carbs seem to burn away fast in the heat especially as we are not so used to it.

Stay cool.
