No, but it usually goes done after a hot shower
Join this group if you have diabetes and live in/come from Canada (Administrator: RoLoSoHo).
Thank you Sohair, wise advice. I was trying to see if I could get him to volunteer somewhere, it is a great mentor. I like the idea of a weekly get together, I could also take part in getting that started. Just what I needed, when I was lost for w...
I have noticed my bs drop after a hot shower. Been experimenting with this due to a variety of comments. It does seems to be a great tool in bringing your sugar level down. But just like exercise, you have to be careful it doesn't drop too much. I...
I've never heard of a hypo alert dog, do they have them, have you been able to train your dog to know what to do?
Would you or anyone reading this pay $5/month to a service that would alert either family members, neighbours, friends, or 911 if you didn't log in each day at a certain time on your computer. They would alert others if they also couldn't reach yo...
I do am glad you are feeling so much better Nicole. It's a testament that you can feel better, just have to keep trying and NEVER give up. I know Spring always lifts my spirits. I'm wondering if anyone has advice on how to deal with a person, my f...
I'm curious if any other single Diabetetics (Type 1 or Type2) also worry about living alone, in the event of a low blood sugar in middle of night (or any other time for that matter), where you didn' wake up or passed out, and noone would be there ...
Hey Kevin,
Sounds the the roughest couple months you could imagine. I think that when you try to do one thing each day, especially going outside, you are being proactive, keep it up. The one thing I am learining, if I'm not proactive then how I ca...
Well, who is taking 40 minute showers, or even 20 minute showers? That's a long time! Also, since a shower does not immerse a site in water, does this data apply?
Okay this one is new for me. I've had diabetes for 19 years and i love hot showers i've always taken hot showers and nothing is wrong with me. Idk my water is soo hot that u can see little smoke from how hot it is. =) And i leave in the hottest st...
I know, I don't get it either, just heard she lost her eye sight in the shower, but it came back later, might not be connected, but I think it helps to put these stories out. The feedback was great. I just took a hot shower to bring down my sugars...
yeah, i understand the blood circulation/effects on insulin part, but going blind???
The hot tub coverage sounds like a plan- shall we start a petition?
As for the rest of it- I'm going to continue to bathe in the hottest water I can tolerate for as long as I am able to climb in and out of the tub. This is the one absolutely guil...
I have a hot tub/shower in my main bathroom and I sit in the hot water for 20 minutes and I never have had any issues with my BG. Personally this sounds far fetched. You probably have a better chance at slipping on the bar of soap you just dropped...

clarence haynes said… - Welcome from a very positive insulin-dependent since 1977, who is a computer rookie, who has found a way to use the network to share, being a ROLE MODEL, to over 40.000 diabetics,and is 91 yeara, young, and asking new members from areas with a high % of diabetes, "WHAT DO YOU NEED TO IMPROVE YOUR DIABETES PREVENTION AND AWARENESS PROGRAM? From my years of wisdom and still LEARNING is THAT THE PERSON THAT KNOWS MOST ABOUT THEIR DIABETES, WILL LIVE THE LONGEST. Try my AMIGOKIT program in your area. Call 5 DIABETICS, EVERYDAY,and have them call 5 DIABETICS, EVERYDAY. By having a DIABETIC BUDDY, you can make someones DAY,and also SAVE A LIFE. I will be asking insulin-users, worldwide, to joinme, in silence, and give THANKS, for INSULIN, on JULY 30, INSULIN APPRECIATION DAY, for BANTING & BEST giving hundreds of millions of us a chance for a healthy lifestyle. Check out www.restorethebantinghomestead. com and see the AMIGOS will be selling BLUE ROSES to highlight this important milestone in the life of those taking INSULIN. This flower was chosen because one of its meaning is "ATTAINING THE IMPOSSIBLE" our motto. Keep in touch clarence.haynes@sympatico.ca i was in the hospitality industry in different capacities,as a porter on CNR for 25 years, maitre'd at 3 restaurant, member of TOURISM TORONTO,for 22 years and your idea of a special social network for work, is an excellent idea, I support. Go for it?
