Do Bears "you know what" in the woods,  Of course, they also sleep all
winter.  They are mamals, just like us.

Your FIL does indeed exercise the same.  However what about his incidental
exercise.  IE: mowing the lawn, Walking the dog, Washing the car Strolling
around "Not exercising, just enjoying life and the summer" I’ll bet dollars
to insulin shots (It sure ain’t going to be donuts in this list) that he
does less of these things.  He may even watch FOOTBALL in the winter.
(I don’t) (My wife does that for me :) . <-handy dual use symbol there)

Most people do, "Slow DOwn"  Not quite as much as the bear, but still alot
in the winter time.  Also you may well eat more  (See Campbells comericial
thawing out snow boy with a bowl of nice hot soup.  really works by the way)

So, I’m not suprised that his BG’s go up in the cold.

My insulin requirements go up in the cold by the way and I have much the
same level of activity all year around what with my day almost entierly
taken up with computers of one sort or another.  (Though I do do more walking
in December for some 25th reason)

Well, in my case, my blood sugar levels tend to increase during hot weather.

I  try  very  hard  to say exactly what I mean.  I’d appreciate it if you’d
bear that in mind and not try to "interpret"  my  posts  to  fit  your  own
preconceived notions if I’m posting in a serious thread.  Remember:  If you
throw a strawman into a heated debate, flames are likely to be the result.
