Now I will find
out if the advice I have handed out in the past saves me. The air
conditioner decided to quit about 10 days ago and I have rounded up
my cooler and put an ice pack in one end and my test trips, daily use
insulin in the other end. Just can't see losing my test strips to
heat or any insulin already in use. The fans have been cleaned and
are all running.
The temperature is
already at 93 degrees outside and is it near that inside. The
refrigerator is stocked with cold water and I am staying hydrated.
The prediction is 97 degrees today and with the humidity starting
rise, the heat index is predicted to top 100 degrees.
I can feel sorry
for several people that are not as mobile as I am and that don't have
fans. I have provided one couple with two fans and made sure they
are using them, have a supply of water and are still okay. If you
are in the areas where the heat is becoming oppressive, I hope that
you will check on elderly neighbors and do things that will help them
survive this heat whether they have diabetes or not.
