Diabetes can affect your body's ability to regulate temperature. Take precautions to avoid heat-related complications like heat stroke. Stay in shaded areas, use sunscreen, wear loose, breathable clothing, and wear a hat and sunglasses when outdoors.

Hey friends, it’s been awhile but I need your help. It is now summer where I live and I am severely struggling. I go outside in the heat for 5 minutes and I feel awful the rest of the day. I feel really dizzy and nauseous and my ears start ringing. My feet also have a fun habit of turning purple. I’ve been drinking a ton of water and I wear compression socks occasionally but it barely makes a dent in helping my symptoms. Sometimes I think the compression socks make the heat worse. Any tips on handling the summer? Any and all advice is welcome!

Tuchka is sunbathing🙂
It was 28°C today outside and it is always several degrees hotter in our balcony as the sun warms it up.
Next week it's going to be 33°C here in Moscow,which means even hotter in this stone jungle....
For me it's hot when it's more than 20°C🙉 so I'm thinking to go somewhere north🏔❄😁
What about you?Are you OK with hot weather? And how do you cope with heat?

As the title says - I’m so glad the heatwave has ended here. We had about a week of temperatures between 29°C and 35°C. Faaaaaaaaar too hot for me! Anything above 25°C and I sufffer.

When I was very little (about 5 or 6) I was at school and we had a swimming lesson. The pool had absolutely no shade and it was over 30°! The staff didn’t even provide sun cream, either. Needless to say, as a practically white haired kid, I got burned pretty badly and very had heat stroke. They had to call my mum who was (rather naturally) furious. She took me to my GP and he said that I had heatstroke and was quite badly dehydrated and that I needed to be submerged in cool water, kept in a dark room and I needed to drink as much water as my belly would allow.

I haven’t really gotten any better at handling the heat. I mean; now I -know- that I should put sun cream on, stay in the shade and drink plenty. But it exhausts my body so much. And it makes my Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) MUCH worse. Sometimes I can end up losing consciousness EVERY time I stand up! Which is exhausting in itself but even more so in the hot weather.

Nowadays I tend to hide away in my room with the fan directed right at me. I turn into a blob that rarely moves. Which is fine by me, really. But getting to the bathroom is a challenge! 😝

For those of you in the UK, I hope you’re all feeling better too! 😊
