Marce, As you know diabetes does effect circulation and you may never know why you feel cold but it does often mean that your circulation is being effected. Please do your best to move your feet and hands often. You can do that while sitting or laying and this on-going movement can help your circulation and improve circulation. Any movement is better than no movement and it can be formalized exercise or just flexing and stretching your hands, feet, legs, shoulders, head and neck. Please try.

I Get so hot most of the time but if I do get cold, I will need to take a nice warm bath then get under a really warm blanket and about 10 minutes later I'm so hot I cant stand it all over again.

Enjoy a blessed holiday, if I had forgotten to say that earlier.
Peace.

I am much more sensitive to cold. If I allow myself to get too cold I start shaking and can't stop until I get warm.
