Type 2 Diabetes and HRT

[Mrs T 123]

Any ladies who are Type 2 and since starting/are on HRT - have you found this has affected your Type 2 Diabetes sugar levels at all?

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Many thanks x

I have had type 2 since 2017, I started HRT patches over a year ago and haven’t noticed any difference in my blood sugar levels.

Many thanks for that - I am thinking on starting on the patches too - @Rachox may I ask did it affect your blood pressure at all?

I was on HRT gel for a few weeks, didn’t notice any rise in my BG

No BP remained steady too

Yet another reason to be grateful for early menopause. I was on HRT for a while in my 40s (early menopause) but stopped as I stopped having any symptoms. I had a bone scan when I was about 55 and my levels were slightly higher than normal for a woman my age (I like to think it was all the chocolate )

All good- thanks
