Probably the same reason Diabetics are "suggested" to not get into hot tubs or saunas. I'm not sure what the scientific reasoning is. It can be dangerous b/c you don't feel the hypo in the heat. If I get in a hot tub I test before I get in, and every 20-30 minutes thereafter. I've seen decreases in my bg that can not otherwise be explained. My guess--increased circulation=more/faster insulin absorption.
