It’s officially summer and that means time for Liz and Amy to sit down and talk about diabetes management during those fun summer parties, BBQ’s, and events. While they’re at it, they discuss how dehydration can increase your blood glucose levels (but maybe not the way you think it does) and how diabetes impacts our body’s ability to handle thermal stresses. Grab your sunscreen and drink with an umbrella and enjoy!
