I'm just curious about something. Can heat and humidity cause a cat's #s to rise? The reason why I ask is because on the last dose, Blackie's #s were rising, and I don't think it was the insulin as it's still good. If it was the insulin, then the nadir would be rising, I would think, and it wasn't, at least I don't think it was. The other #s were, though. Or she could've gotten into something that I wasn't aware of.

I had the windows open to allow some fresh air in here so that I didn't have to turn on the a/c (there have been times when I wanted to, but I stuck it out). Anyway, just a curious question is all. Thank you.
 
hmm ... good question .. as I sit here watching a blizzard roll through I can't even imagine the day we need our AC back on :lol:
 
Hi Angela, I have noticed a correlation, but in the opposite direction and there is an extra variable. Kismet has asthma, and if there is too little humidity, he has a harder time breathing and his BGs go up. We live in a very humid, warm climate, so he's used to a lot of moisture in the air. As soon as it gets colder or drier, his BGs tend to rise. Perhaps it's just part of their homeostasis? If you live in a drier, cooler climate that your Blackie is used to, maybe a change can have an impact. I've started keeping a log of how the weather affects Kismet to test my theory. It might be a good idea to do the same with Blackie.
 
OK, send me your BG and heat/humidity data and I'll create an X-Y scatter plot to determine if there is a correlation. :cool: Wouldn't it be wild to check the weather forecast and know what kind of BG day it will be?

Well, if anyone seriously has tracked both BGs and heat/humidity, sure. I'll see if there's a relationship.
Can't open FDMB messages since my box is full, so you'll have to send to m.j.towler AT gmail.com
