Time of the month and BS levels

Hi I have higher readings about a week before my time of the month I spoke to my diabetes consultant about it I just kept note of my bs levels & now for the week leading up to my time of the month & a few days in I have to increase my dosage of fast acting insulin (I'm on novorapid) I've been on the DAFNE course so I work out my insulin by ratio so instead of 2:1 (2units per 10grams of carbs) I take a 2.5:1 & it works for me.

I'd suggest speaking to your diabetes nurse or Dr about adjusting your dose they should be able to help you :grin:

Hi, my BG always rises before my period too, I think it's just one of those things

I know how you feel it's so frustrating I've checked my bloods in the past when my period is due been around 15 taken a correctional dose & its barely made an impact on my levels! You're not alone with this you will probably need to have a little extra insulin for a few days then back to normal :-D

Me too. Week before I'm due on I can't get my levels down and the week after struggle to get them up!
