Mirena coil & blood sugars/insulin requirements


Hi Juicyj
Many thanks for responding. I'm happy to report minimal impact so far to my levels. Mood however, that's a different story. The procedure was bearable and I was able to walk about afterwards. The next 48hrs was rather painful (a little like slow labour) but is gradually easing.

Hi Okulu,

I had Mirena coil fitted 4 weeks ago and my sugars have gone so high since. I had gone into hospital for colposcopy and Dr suggested I have coil fitted as I had been in HRT for years . I didn’t have chance to research this and coil was fitted and my sugars have been out of control since !

I am off work as sugars going as high as 18+ after injecting insulin for amount of carbs eaten. I am using Libre 2 sensors and my phone is constantly beeping as sugars high and also getting hypos .

I am sure this is due to Merina coil and even thinking of having it removed .

I am wondering if anybody else experiencing the same since Merina fitted.

Diabetic nurse has increased night time Lantus but does not seem to be making any difference?

Shirley.
