I wish GPS and endos know more about this stuff - like you guys, until the last few years my control was always good - I am a little obsessive about my blood sugars and have always have hba1c’s in the 5.8 - 6 range. These crazy swings have a really negative impact on my life and are creating...

Yes, the GP has confirmed I am menopausal - I have (sigh) suggested this might be a reason for my unpredictable blood sugar swings but been told there is not ‘evidence’ that menopause has any impact on this, and that effectively I must be doing something wrong - like stuffing my face secretly...

Just read through the old Lantus thread - might be worth me looking into- though it is never easy to get anyone to change medications.

Hi, I am new to this forum - though I have read lots of threads over the years. I am 46 years old and have had type 1 diabetes for 30 years now. Until a few years ago I always have great control, but now I just can’t seem to get things right. I switched my diet a few years ago and mostly eat low...
