> [@August\_West](#): > > I had a weird one 2 weekends ago, I was outside in ~28°F weather and had put on some fairly thin work gloves just to protect my hands from the wind.

I knew better, but let it progress to the point of no return.

No car. Hike back to civilization was too effortful. Had a campfire and all but it just wasn’t enough to dry everything out. _(Yes, I know I still have my nose because it is leaking like a sieve)._ ---

I am beginning to understand the effects of diabetes myself through third-hand experience. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-have-frostbitten-feet/715061.md?page=1)
