Effect of temperature on readings
I'm experiencing higher than average readings lately. Does heat have an effect? 100 degrees yesterday. Not eating anything different. No change in liquid consumption either.
A very plausible answer. I check my readings as a ball player watches his batting average.
This is my first summer after diagnosis. Cooler today though.

Good question as my primary digs never reaches triple digits. This is what I understand Asok; When it gets hot dehydration can lead to elevated numbers, because the glucose reading is a number per deciliter of water. Less water in the body then equals a higher concentration of sugar in the blood. I would just make sure to stay well hydrated during the heat wave and keep a close eye on your readings and how you are feeling. HTH
