I seem to get the worst ones in the summer when I am active, in fact, that is what lead me to seek help. The first time I sought help (the time I was blown off) was in the summer. I noticed myself trending downward today after a 2 mile walk in 80 degree weather (tested at 74 but was obviously on the way down). For me it does seem to make me hypo which is why I am not looking forward to my first summer after the official diagnosis.

When I worked at Disney I had a friend who was type 1 who could not afford his testing supplies (no insurance.) The first month we had to call the paramedics several times because the heat was decreasing his insulin need and making him hypo.
