Hello. Can anyone tell me if HRT can mess with your blood sugar? Is there anyone on here that is having problems with HRT?
 
I stopped HRT because the patches made me gain weight. The alternative to patches is exercise, also an excellent way to control bg, so I opted for this instead. Bg is fine, diet controlled as in LCHF. I get the occasional hot flush but this is fine so long as the temperature is still below 20C.

Hi. Can you tell me how long you where on HRT? And how did you come off them?
 
Not long at all. I was diagnosed diabetic shortly after I had made the connection patches-weight gain, and as I have diabetes I don't want to put on any weight I talked to my gynae and we agreed on exercise. I just stopped the patches, no big deal.

I gained about half a kilo per week but am relieved to say I loose it much faster, maybe due to my diet regime LCHF.

My only problem with menopause are the hot flashes and so far I can handle them. Actually I find them quite nice when its cold.
