| | | You have started a truly fascinating thread! I have discussed the "feeling cold" syndrome with my respected PCP and with my endocronologist, and neither of them know why I feel icy cold for hours after I have had a hypoglycemic reaction. I shall be following the discussion with the greatest interest! |

| | | Re: does insulin make you cold?
Hi, everyone.
All of my adult life, I was always the person who got wierd looks for wearing t-shirts when everyone else had on sweaters, but now I'm sitting in a 70-degree office with my jacket on. When I was a kid, however, I was always colder than everyone else, then a year or so ago, I noticed this starting again & didn't think too much about it because that's how I was as a kid too. Then a couple of months ago I was diagnosed wih Diabetes, so I'm wondering if the two are connected...sounds like I may have been right. |

| | | finally i have found people like me!!! i have been complaining about this for months and everybody thought i was crazy. for a long time i felt hot ALL THE TIME. i got so paranoid i thought it was a thyroid problem so i went to my endo and he ran tons of tests and said i was normal. the weird thing is sometimes i get super cold and its usually before a meal for some reason. Before dinner sometimes i am freezing, and then i eat dinner and the food warms me up somehow. i am not able to explain it...
this all started about a year after diagnosis so i have a feeling it has something to do with not having perfectly normal glucose levels. i am in classes sometimes and i feel super hot and am wearing a t shirt and everybody is in f&^%$#* jackets. then sometimes i feel perfectly normal and can wear a sweater inside. Its almost like it relates to what direction my bg is going. I posted about this a few months ago on this board and nobody knew what i was talking about and people just told me it might be a thyroid problem.... but its not. I still have my doubts that it might be anxiety or depression related but i have no friggin clue...

| | | Hmm, it is varied for me, but now that you mention it, since taking insulin, I have noticed I have felt colder and have been dressing warmer, and usually, I am a POLAR BEAR, I shovel snow in shorts, a tee shirt and sandals.

....so its not all in my head...mind you, 2 diabetics having temperature control issues which they think coincide with onset of diabetes is hardly statistically significant...
| are you kidding... so far 100% of test subjects in your International study have proven your point 
Seriously though I have always been in T-shirts when everyone else was covered up in sweaters, but that was even before I was diagnosed
