Narrative:

Enroute to the nat tracks; the number one idg temperature increased to 212 degrees celsius; even though it was disconnected by maintenance on the ground prior to pushback and was on MEL. This high temperature became a safety issue; so the flight diverted. Prior to approach; I declared an emergency; then landed and taxied to the gate without further incident.
