Insulin
Since July, I have been taking the estrogen blocking medication Letrozole and since then blood sugar control has been subject the huge and unreliable spikes. I am now take double to triple Novo Rapid and 35% more Lantus. It is frustrating to now have to guess how much insulin to administer.

Has anyone else found themselves in a similar situation with hormone treatments?

Just bumping this up for you.

I know women in menopause report more erratic numbers than usual so would not be surprised that the hormones are affecting things.

I can't offer you any advice but have had lumpectomy and radiotherapy 8 yrs ago so have empathy regarding that side of things. I wish you all the best and a speedy recovery to become a 'survivor'
