Diabetes and menopause

What type of diabetes have you been diagnosed with and are you taking any medication for your diabetes?

Hello
I’m newly diagnosed with really high readings , hba1c 137 . I’ve never had any indication of diabetes before so I think having just gone through the menopause and having prostrap treatment last year for endometriosis has maybe hastened it . But I just want to sort myself out now and be as well as possible . Has anyone any tips about coping with menopause and diabetes ?

Hi Chelle58, Welcome to the forum.
Can you tell us which type of diabetes you have? It will help people to give the correct advise.
I also got diagnosed whilst still in menopause, horrid isn't it trying to cope with so much going on. At that time I tried with the help of my doctor to get the menopause under control whilst also trying to change my diet to help my diabetes. Get a little personal fan for meno and I'd suggest getting a blood sugar monitor and test before meals and 2 hours after, so you can see what spikes you. It may also help with the meno to sort out your diabetes.
Good luck ((((hugs))))
