Question for the ladies

PCOS = poly cystic ovaries syndrome .
Shifting weight is harder with this condition as it can affect hormones,
menstrual cycle and the body's metabolism speed too .
Making you feel more sluggish than you should feel .

Peri-menopause can cause erratic 'spotting menstrual cycles' with some ladies .
Have they tested for this ?
Your HbA1c results and weight loss are great by the way
Only thing I can think of - is possible peri-menopause ?
Ovaries less supply of oestrogen happening - plus the PCOS

Could you write a list of your worries and questions .
Take along a close friend or possible relative for moral support .

Tell them the HCP's you really wish to be proactive about it all .
Appreciate some clearer sense of direction and answers
to your questions .
Get them to agree to take this more seriously as it is your health matters .
HCP'S like lists - to answer too , they usually see them as proactive .

Explain about your lower BG levels, sense of depression and wish/need to
return home etc.
Request a care plan to put into place to tackle these issues .
Let them know how you are really feeling - is a step in the right direction .

No problem with a moan or any further questions here .
Ask away its what we are here for - to support and listen .

Please let us all know how things go .
Be great to have update on this .
It could help many other ladies here .

The hormones from your possible peri menopause
can affect the BG levels temporarily .
Making things a bit more confusing for you .

Menopausal hormones will be erratic and changeable .
This is with the lesser natural hormone production.
Effecting both your monthlies menstruation and your own body too .
Impact also on the BG levels till hormones regulate or settle down with/without
medical medication or birth control help .
This could explain your crashes to the lower BG levels .

How do you feel in general now ?
Understand to be diabetes med free would be a bonus for yourself now .
To prevent the frequent unpredictable too low BG levels .

Giving you more stability and self control over this .
I hope you make progress soon .
This cant have been pleasant for you .

I am type 2 and have PCOS. I find my periods are erratic and my BS is always very up and down during my periods. Hope you get on ok on Friday.
