Question about cold office environment…
Hello Liz,
Woooooooooooooooooooow. Am I reading that correctly, HUMALOG, 2 units every 2 hours??? Its not much but you’ve got overlap there in terms of how long each shot lasts. Be real, real careful!!!
As for body temp, yes, it will effect absorption, clearly. As will injection site, and many other factors. But I think you’ll find its not as dramatic as we might like or wish it to be. But perhaps for some cases it might be more so.
Cold= our core being well supplied circulation wise and the limbs less so. Heat = Limbs better supplied the capillaries, fingers, toes, ears, doing more work, etc., etc. Its real generic, but it will be interesting to see what’s been published specifically. I remember there was something research wise, but I cannot remember precisely what…? Island peoples lowest incidence of diabetes? Cold climates most difficult BG swings… something… that made sense and had been studied, cannot remember precisely what though…
Sigh,
Jeff
