[QUOTE="Okulu, post: 1451731, member: 228412"] Thanks for the reply. My total daily requirements have massively increased too (from ~35-42u/day to ~50u/day), but things have stabilised now (I've found the basal rates and IC ratios that I need to keep my BG in range). I'm hoping that now I'm vaguely sorted, my settings will sort of all stay the same over the month, which I think on balance, will be easier than dealing with the constant fluctuations of a menstrual cycle! Finger's crossed though...if things keep on changing, I may consider having it out, although I'm fine mood-wise; I've just got a bit of acne on my chest and back but I can do stuff about that. If I have it out though, that leaves me with no contraceptive options.... gahhh.. What do you use now (sorry, hope you don't mind me asking?)? Also...when the GP said 'it won't have any affect on your diabetes', I replied saying there's no way she could say that given it's progesterone; it's just that I don't know what level of impact it's going to have. That shut her up. Although I don't think she believed me. I really hate it when GPs try to tell me about my diabetes, which is clearly something they know very little about... Sorry, rant over.
