[QUOTE="Antje77, post: 2290546, member: 372207"] Thanks for the tag [USER=101136]@Jaylee[/USER] . Hi [USER=472517]@JMcB[/USER] , not TMI at all! (At a guess, Jaylee meant Time of the Month, but it took me a while to puzzle that one out :wacky:) (edit: Ha, got it right! :happy:) I think I've read a hysterectomy doesn't affect your monthly cycle, as it's the ovaries doing that. But I don't know enough about it to be sure. I found I usually suddenly need a lot less insulin around the start of my period and still have to watch out for hypo's around that time. It might be you have something like that going on. I'm not sure how old you are but if you are of the right age for premenopause you could have all kinds of hormonal stuff going on, affecting your blood glucose. I have no experience with that yet though. A simpler possibility might be you're still 'honeymooning'. From your other thread I understand you haven't been on insulin all that long so perhaps your pancreas still splutters out insulin at unpredictable times. For myself, at over 3 years in, I find I constantly need to adjust the amount of insulin I take. I have no clue if it's due to still producing some insulin, monthly hormones or something else altogether. Doesn't matter really what the cause is though, I'll just have to deal with the effects I guess. I think almost all T1's have dealt with occasional inexplicable numbers and changes, somtimes it seems diabetes just likes to play around with us! They say there are 42 factors in play when it comes to blood glucose, I'm pretty sure there are more!
