My seven year old son is working on his fourth year of living with diabetes, and while I know that other parents make insulin adjustments in the summer, I thought it was because of increased activity. This year, as soon as the warm weather hit, I found it necessary to cut back on the insulin. His activity level has not increased — he is still in school. I now remember that I had to do the same thing last year. Does the body use insulin differently (more efficiently) when the outside temperature increases?
