Here’s a strange situation…
I’ve gone on a few trips recently… from Connecticut I drove to Vermont and New Hampshire a couple times, and I also flew to Florida. When I’m in these new places, I need WAY less insulin. I’m in Florida, and I’ve stopped taking my basal altogether (I only need about 6 units of Lantus anyway, but back in CT I’ll quickly go up if I don’t take insulin). When I was in Vermont a couple weeks ago, I was going low all the time. And I almost never go low. They’re all pretty relaxing trips, so I don’t think it’s stress, though being in a new place could cause some form of stress. I’m eating mostly the same foods and I sleep about the same. Vermont was freezing, Florida is warm as can be. Cleaner air? I’m stumped.
Any experience with this? Is it normal?
