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 BG too, not the result of extra snacking/ craving of carbs foods from PMS. I find that I usually have to increase my background insulin too to compensate.
I don’t take hormonal contraceptives so it’s not as if there are any more artificial hormones in my body, (...apart from all the insulin ) that might explain it.
Does anyone else have any experience of this?
I’m 26 and have been type 1 for 13 years and my last Hb1ac was 7.3.
Thanks!
