My second I hardly adjusted my levels at all, maybe 20 units of Bolus across the course of a day and 30 units of Basal. It stayed stable throughout....Hormones ey! :roll: I have managed to get my HBa1C down from 8.6% at it's worse to, my last one just came in at 5.6 % . This was by doing extensive testing of Hormones through my Cycle and understanding how each separate hormone effects my insulin sensitivity and adjusting doses accordingly to which one is in the main state of play. Also adjusting other Hormones, Bio-identically, down the downward stream Metabolite.   It has revolutionised my control, also Low Carb which is a great help for me. And this is having hardly any Hypo's. Some Ladies don't suffer extreme Hormone fluctuations throughout their Cycle ,some do.And boy did I  :lol:    Mine were quiet extreme and it has taken a good year of tests of all my Steroid and Sex hormone panel to get to the bottom of things but it has made all the difference to my control  . Thing is Hormones are never static, neither is Diabetes but for now I'm enjoying the the good HbA1c's <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /> Hey, and the biggest difference for me where the night time Hypo's was concerned was getting off that Nightmare Lantus, I'm sure you'll understand that one ; )</blockquote>
