[Diabetes-Talk] cold

[Dr Denise M Robinson]

Check your thyroid because if your thyroid is too low, it will make you cold. Most diabetics also have thyroid issues, so most of you are probably on some type of thyroid medication. It just might be needed to be slightly adjusted. I typically run cool and always have a light jacket with me and I do have thyroid issues. But I have noticed if I adjust medication  slightly up, I will run a little bit warmer

And when I get real stressed out, my sugars drop like a rock!! So, I really have to watch that. My sugars drop like a rock in the extremes. Extreme cold, as well as extreme heat!! When we went to Thailand to get our daughter Virginia, I literally had to stop taking my NovoLog insulin. My 24 hour insulin still ran me low!! It was crazy!!
