Here’s an oldie but a goodie. There’s a great blog post here about summer safety tips for those with diabetes. There’s great tips and details on preventing dehydration, dressing appropriately, exercising smart, and much more. Here’s an excerpt:
“If you have diabetes, you’re at greater risk of heat exhaustion, which occurs when you’re exposed to high temperatures for a long period of time and don’t replace the fluids you lose. Your body produces more heat than it can release.
Symptoms of heat exhaustion include:
- Cool, moist skin with goose bumps when in the heat
- Heavy sweating
- Dizziness”
