[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2042284, member: 365308"] Hello and welcome to the forum. I am sure the other ladies will chime in soon! it is very typical for insulin resistance to increase in week 4 of your cycle then decrease. If your partner uses a pump she could set up a different basal profile based on those low vs. high weeks. It helps if she has a regular cycle. If she is injecting then I'd advise altering her basal insulin. I think this approach is worth trying because the relevant hormones are causing her insulin needs to rise and fall rather than what she is eating as you have already identified that she is not over treating those hypos nor eating more or less carb than usual in response to hormonal cravings etc.! Is she peri menopausal or menopausal btw? That can obviously change things and just like pregnancy can make things unpredictable where previously she was stable. [/QUOTE]
