Managing diabetes in warmer weather requires extra care and planning. Here are 8 tips to help you stay safe and prepared as things start to heat up:
🏃♀️ Exercise early, late, or indoors. Midday heat can spike your blood sugar and put extra stress on your body. Schedule workouts for cooler parts of the day, or take it inside when temps are high.
💧 Stay hydrated. Dehydration can raise blood glucose levels, so keep water close — especially when you`re outside or active.
🩸 Monitor more often. Heat can affect how your body responds to insulin, so check your levels more frequently than usual during hot weather.
🔥 Check the heat index. It`s not just the temperature — humidity matters too. If the heat index is high, take extra precautions even if it doesn`t feel that hot.
👕 Wear loose, light clothing. Breathable fabrics help your body regulate temperature and reduce the risk of overheating.
✅ Make a plan in case you lose power. Know where to store your insulin and supplies if your home loses AC — have a backup plan ready before you need it.
🪄 Keep supplies and equipment out of the heat. Insulin, CGMs, and other devices can be damaged by high temperatures. Store them in a cool, shaded place.
👟 Avoid going barefoot. Hot pavement can cause burns fast, especially if you have reduced sensation in your feet. Always protect your feet outdoors.
Don`t let the heat catch you off guard. A little preparation can go a long way!😎

Despite growing awareness of the importance of mental health and its impact on overall well-being, most people don’t think much about it on a daily basis, often waiting until symptoms become disruptive before seeking help.
This #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth, we’re reminding our community that proactive mental health care is a crucial aspect of diabetes care, not a separate or lesser priority.
Recognizing the bidirectional relationship between physical and mental health is important. Not only can the daily stress and burden of self-management contribute to anxiety, diabetes distress and burnout, or depression, but if left unaddressed, emotional challenges can also hinder effective diabetes care and increase the risk of complications.
By asking for help and incorporating mental health practices into your daily routine, you can support more consistent self-management and better diabetes outcomes, while addressing emotional challenges before they become overwhelming.

Give yourself credit! Diabetes management is a long journey.
🏃♀️ Running a race with no end in sight takes real courage, commitment, and strength. Just remember: when you prioritize progress, consistency, and self-compassion over perfection, rigidity, and judgment, every day you show up is its own victory.
