Menopause and type 2 diabetes

I have just been looking through some old posts and found some on the menopause. I wonder if anyone else was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes within 2 months of having their last menstruation like me? I have always thought that it was a bit too much of a coincidence. A good thing though was that at the same time as I developed the diabetes (or at least it made itself very manifest by altering my vision) the dreadful migraines that had blighted my life since I started them in my teens STOPPED altogether. Again, probably due to the cessation of periods (which is when my worst attacks occurred.)
Has anyone else had these homonal links?

Thanks Pat, I had a look at the site and as you say, the results are inconclusive! Interesting, though as the other strange thing for me is that I have only one known relative who ever was diagnosed with type 2 and that was a great-aunt, so not close AND she was in her late 90s when diagnosed despite being fat for all the time I knew her! Other relatives were well over 80 when they died (including both my parents.) I have owned dogs throughout my 32 year marriage (except for a six month period) so have always walked daily (except in exceptionally bad weather lol) but I have been on permanent (low-fat) diets virtually since I married. Depsite this, my weight has risen slowly but surely untill I came to believe that I cannot lose weight, but have to diet to stay the same. It is interesting that I exhibited a high FBG whilst I was pregnant the last time of which was 25 years ago now. It was not pursued at the time because I was unable to go for so long without food due to feeling sick etc (otherwise the GP wanted me to do a Glucose tolerance test.) Also, fasting for more than 12 hours over night used to bring on Migraines.
I do wonder if apart from hormones triggering diabetes, being probably pre-diabetic for many years prevented weight loss.
When I asked the consultant about this he surprised me by saying that they knew that there was a relationship between obesity and type 2 diabetes but they didn't really know which way round it was! (He was a researcher to whom I had been referred as they wanted me to take part in a clinical trial.)
I love to read up on the research, it gives me a feeling of having some control at least - thanks again for the link.
ps - I do low carb dieting now, but find it hard to totally avoid bread!
