Do you have clinic appointments at a hospital ? I got an answer that worked for me from the hospital who wrote to my GP. Yes, the steadying effect of the 'added-in' hormone largely prevented the truly terrible peaks and troughs. It wasn't perfect though, say 95% better. The peaks still happened occasionally but to nothing like the same height, if you see what I mean. Hope that makes sense. I only put up with the problem for 3 months and then I happened to have an appointment at the hospital. The letter recommending HRT took 3 weeks to arrive at my surgery and after a week I rang up every day to see if it had arrived, so I could make an appointment and get a solution. I was really desperate.You're not going mad but I understand what you're talking about. I had also been very well-cotrolled before all this chaos hit me. The practice nurse asked me when the fluctuating hormones made my sugar levels rise, as if there was a pattern. That was when I lost patience and shouted. (I was already on HRT by that time, but she couldn't understand why and thought I should be able to predict  when my sugar levels would rise.) It sounds as if you are in the same position.</blockquote>
