| Whatever the mechanism, I also have observed increased sensitivity (up to 50% increase) and rapidity (R completing in 1 hr instead of my normal 2 hr) while showering.
Hypers leave my skin sweaty and gross. If I need a 3U+ correction (BG of 200+), I'll usually shoot R (reducing my dose by 20% to 25%) and have a nice shower.
After a mealtime bolus, though, I avoid showering until any rapid/R has cleared. NPH doesn't seem problematic.
