[QUOTE="JMK1954, post: 2218182, member: 352098"] Well, I am going to repeat what I find myself having to point out frequently on this forum. We are all different. The HRT was an answer to a prayer for me, as I was really desperate. However, statins lost me my short-term memory, ACE inhibitors for blood pressure gave me a stomach ulcer and I have no hypo warning symptoms on anything except an aninal insulin. I also had a bad skin reaction to the Libre sensor which was like a chemical burn. All any of us can do is look for solutions and try out what is offered. If it causes unacceptable side-effects - we can only drop it and dig our heels in. What we swallow or inject is our decision and nobody else's. My GP wanted to put me on antidepressants before my consultant suggested HRT, but I knew I wasn't depressed, just struggling with an impossible situation. The GP was reluctant to prescribe it even after receiving the consultant's letter. He had never heard of HRT stabilising BS levels, but I don't think he had dealt with many type 1 diabetics anyway. He had no useful advice for me on any occasion, so I did not bother him very much. You may have to fight to get HRT, but for me it was worth it. [/QUOTE]
