 Heat can impact how your body processes insulin, so in the summer, people with diabetes should monitor blood sugar levels more frequently and adjust insulin dosage if necessary. Also, drink plenty of water, dress in loose-fitting, lightweight and light-colored attire, steer clear of alcohol or caffeinated beverages because they can cause dehydration and raise your blood sugar levels. Enjoy your summer without complications. Go to the Diabetes Foundation of Mississippi at msdiabetes.org. That's msdiabetes.org.
