T1 on the pill

Wondering if there's any other ladies out there on the combined contraceptive? I find when I have my "week off" my insulin requirements drop massively, and I regularly suffer from hypos during this period (literally). Has anyone else experienced this?

Yes ☺ when I was on that type of pill I found my levels ran lower just as I was about to have a week off. My dsns have said your period can affect your blood sugars so from my experience at least I would say that is completely normal.

Ah OK, good to know thank you
