Thanks to the DM for this uplifting story !! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/a...es-40-likely-die-men-disease-study-finds.html
To be honest I struggle a lot with my BG, I find that it all goes massively out of sync when I have a period and due to hormones I can't get it down even with corrections as I'm more insulin resistant and then I am also more insulin resistant in the morning so if I wake above 10 I can't get it down until after lunchtime.
It's really not much fun being a woman with type 1 at all, even doing low carb doesn't touch the sides most days...
How do other ladies get on and any thoughts ?
