Hi. Any type 1 Diabetics on here been recently put onto Dienogest? ITs a female Hormone thats meant to get rid of the Endometriosis on my kidneys. How are your blood sugars? Since I started taking Dienogest I can't get my sugars into single figures and am now taking nearly three times my insulin dosage!

Hi. Thanks @EllieM for the info. My gynaecologist said it doesn’t affect diabetes but looking at that it seems it does. I’m not with a diabetic team but will ring my gp in the morning to see if I can see someone.
