Just wondering if there are any other peri-menopausal ladies out there who are on HRT or considering it - especially the sequi patches - and if anyone could share any info or experiences. I'm interested in starting the patches but have read they may not contain the best kind of progesterone for diabetics.

Hi. I'm on oestrogen patches and oral progesterone (utrogestan). I started out on sequi patches and changed after about a year as they stopped being effective. I'd be a basket case without HRT and personally wouldn't be without it. Unfortunately, I can't comment on how they do or don't impact my diabetes as I've currently poor control. I'm under investigation for LADA as my cpeptide is low and ever decreasing, and T2 medication doesn't work for me. Good luck with the HRT.
