Q: Do extreme temperatues in a hot country affect your blood sugar levels?
Mandy-
Hello! If you go to a hot climate you have to check your glucose levels often. You are more at risk for having high and low blood sugar levels. High glucose levels can cause dehydration. If you are using insulin make sure you keep it cool and keep your testing supplies out of direct sunlight.
