hormones

I have significantly different insulin needs at different times of the day and month and although I’ve been type 1 diabetic for 24 years I still haven’t got clarity on the patterns, especially related to time of the month. I end up chasing my bloods for at least a week a month. I have asked my...

Hi Everyone , A question for all the ladies out there... does anyone notice that a couple days before your period your BG spikes? I’ve noticed recently ( as I’ve improved my control and testing) that mine spike REALLY badly. Usually I’m around 6-8, but it can go up to 16-18!!!. This is fasting...

Hi All, I have been having the worst week with my sugar levels. They have been high and I couldn't seem to get them down at all, no matter how good I was! I am 43 and not altogether convinced the menopause isn't too far away because I get very hot and sweaty at any point. I would like to know if...

Hello guys ! So basically, after visiting my doctor, he said, my results of estrogen hormones are really bad, and it's caused by my diet. But because she didn't give me any alternative, i need to do some research. I want to post my diet here, and ask you guys, how can I improve it for my type 1...
