Guest guest Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 Our heat wave is over for at least a few days. It has been in the 90's today but the humidity wasn't quite as high as it had been. I'm very thankful for this break in the weather. Now, I'm praying we get some much needed rain. hugs Eunice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 Eunice, We have finally been getting a bit of rain in Pensacola, which is a good thing; however, all the mosquitoes are back in full force. The dry weather really kept them at bay. When I left and Noble this evening, it almost felt good out. The humidity is still high, but the temperature this evening was a bit cooler. I can't wait for November. ERWachter@... wrote: Our heat wave is over for at least a few days. It has been in the 90's today but the humidity wasn't quite as high as it had been.

Hi , We still have the humidity, but the temperatures are lower. We really need rain. It is predicted for this week. Hopefully, they are right. I'm ready for 70-75 degrees in the daytime and 50 degrees at night. I love to sleep with the windows open. hugs Eunice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The body uses up a more energy when it gets hot in order to keep an acceptable temperature. In doing so glucose resources are depleted and if they are low to begin with then a hypo can result. That's why diabetics are advised against a prolonged sauna, steam room or hot bath. -- Take care. Barry UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 I was told that hot tubs were not good for diabetics, but no one ever told me why. This explains why. But they can be used with extreme care right? Does anyone use a hot tub? My husband and I were going to get one.

My husband and I were going to get one. > I sure they can be used with care Dale but I would suggest that you test yourself before going into the tub to make sure that you're not already too low and don't stay in too long . It might also be a good idea to have a word with your doc about it beforehand. -- Take care. Barry UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 Speak for yourself Barry, hot tubs, jaccuzis these are the great things of life. Healthwise i would rather be sitting in a jaccuzi than stuck in a traffic jam on the north circular!

(After all, think of some of our foods and where they come from...like cheese for instance, where the milk comes from and the 'nasties' that turn it into cheese...especially blue cheese) Or pate, and escargot (which I guess could be considered 'nasties' on their own! Not to mention the nasties on door knobs, public telephones, and I don't know of many bars that hand wash glasses and test the sanatizer for both the proper strength and leave glasses in it for the right amount of time (when you think of it, unless the bar as a dishwashing machine, glasses can be pretty gross... I've seen them barely get rinsed, and another drink made in them). Of course, don't even get me started on what happens behind kitchen doors in a restaurant! I've used the hottub at my health club for almost 15 years... no problems yet. I also swim in lakes and rivers from time to time. Many things worth doing have risk involved.

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 Mike, there are reports all over the place that suggest that the obsession we have with hygeine and cleanliness can have counter effects later in life because of the lack of individual immunity caused by NOT being exposed to bugs germs etc. I'm a firm believer that childrewn should be encouraged to eat dirt from a very early age just to build up those immunities. Who knows the surging rates of diabetes could easily be partially explained on too much hygiene and cleanliness as children.

Within the ½ minute or so we took our eyes off her she managed to taste and partly ingest 1 slug, 1 worm, 1 snail, a dandelion flower and some of its leaves, an anonymous beetle, mud and grass and a piece of coal (goodness knows where that came from) with no apparent ill effects. Although I do remember that her nappy was a funny colour for the next day or so. Yuk!! You're right, we do tend to cosset our kids far too much these days. Does anyone remember being given a 'cat's lick' to clean up hands and faces before coming in from play to eat tea. I recall that good table manners were considered more important than cleanliness. I also remember 'sweet pee' from some members of the family but in those far off days no one paid any heed to that or even thought that it might be diabetes. -- Take care.

Who knows the surging rates of > diabetes could easily be partially explained on too much hygiene and > cleanliness as children. I agree. (However, I don't know if I would force a kid to eat dirt... leave that to the other kids...) ;-) I do think that antibiotic soaps should be sold only with a prescription. That household bleach has two uses, laundry and (since it's really cheap) cleaning the toilet. If kids want to pull a carrot from the garden and wipe it off on their tshirt and eat it... go ahead (the dirt won't hurt them and that's what the bleach is for.. cleaning the tshirt)..., etc... As a people, we are overly obsessed with germs, probably to our detriment. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
