Diabetics: Take Special Care In The Summer Heat
I'm dedicating this entry to my friend Rob, who recently had a scary experience with this very thing. You can read about his experience here.

The high heat of summer is potentially dangerous for everyone, but especially for diabetics. Are you taking proper precautions?

"People with chronic diseases like diabetes as well as people taking certain medications, including heart disease medications and diuretics, which are often used to treat complications of diabetes, are at increased risk of experiencing difficulties in the heat, even though they may not be aware of it," says Catherine Carver, M.S., A.N.P., C.D.E, Director of Educational Services at Joslin Clinic.

Please read this article carefully, and pass it on to the people you care about. The article contains valuable tips for diabetics, including insulin pump users.

Have fun this summer, and stay healthy!
