Body heat
I now feel that People with Diabetes should start maintaining a chart of body Temp & coorelate it with Sugar Readings .
Any comments or personal experience which may pl. be shared pl more
The effects of type 1 and type 2 diabetes on the body's physiological response to thermal stress is a relatively new topic in research. Diabetes tends to place individuals at greater risk for heat-related illness during heat waves and physical activity due to an impaired capacity to dissipate heat
When you live with diabetes, it’s not uncommon to feel cold or numb, especially in your extremities. Your core body temperature is closely tied to your metabolism, and since diabetes wreaks havoc on your metabolic processes, you’re bound to sweat, shiver and shake more than the average person.
Since the nerves in your limbs also monitor temperature and send those signals to your brain
Recent research has uncovered a link between insulin and temperature: insulin seems to work as an internal thermostat, helping to raise your core body temperature by triggering the burning of “brown fat” cells.
Since insulin heats up the body, it’s no surprise that many type 1 diabetics (who have a depleted insulin supply) have a low core body temperature — in fact, a body temperature below 97 degrees is one of the earliest signs of the disease. It follows that the elevated insulin levels associated with type 2 diabetes should warm your body rather than cool it more
