Summer Heat & Diabetes: Why Your Blood Sugar Is Dropping More

from Your Diabetes Insider Podcast · host Ben Tzeel

Warmer weather isn't just about summer vibes - it can seriously impact your blood sugar. In this episode, Ben Tzeel breaks down why heat makes insulin work faster, increases insulin sensitivity, and leads to more unexpected low blood sugars. From changes in blood flow to being more active without realizing it, there's a lot happening in your body that can throw off your usual patterns. If you've been noticing more lows lately, this might be why and what you can actually do about it with your care team so you stay safe, steady, and enjoy the summer without the blood sugar rollercoaster!
