I have a question about hyperglycemia and heat?
can the high heat make your sugar go more low and stuff cause since it got hotter I have been having lots of lows

Good question. As you sweat your body is obviously burning energy which could decrease your blood sugar levels because carbs and proteins are being broken down more quickly. When you are getting hot you are obviously doing some sort of activity walking somewhere etc. which leads to the body breaking down these compounds more rapidly.

    Maybe you are eating less because of the heat and your insulin is taking care of the rest of your glucose. you need to remember to eat little things to maintain your blood sugar or ask your doctor if you can adjust your dose.
