[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 1010869, member: 53162"] Hi Tylers - sending you a big hug. It's the same for me too, the pancreas and our hormones have a major impact on our control, it's all linked, i've spoken to doctors before in the past who have dismissed me, yet they don't live with the condition as I do, so have limited knowledge of the impact of our hormones on our glucose levels, I believe it's when we start pumping out oestrogen in readiness for our monthly period that it starts the impact on our levels, taking insulin is like injecting water for me, and for around 2 weeks a month I suffer with poor control. I am doing alot of research into this to see what can balance our hormones which will help us manage our control better and it really starts with exercise and diet. I have tried taking some supplements but they haven't really had any impact. My suggestion for you personally based on your current circumstances and feeling down is to try and go for walks - fresh air and exercise, it will help you feel better even if you don't feel like it. I am not enjoying the festive period either if it's any consolation, but have a daughter so it's a brave face and battle on, so please don't feel alone, if you ever want a chat drop me a line x [/QUOTE]
