I am a 31 year old female and I have only graduated from DAFNE in the last few days. I am due for my period in a week or so and over the last two days I have found that my lunch and dinner time ratio seems to be wrong. I am getting in the 14's and it doesn't seem to be coming down when I test four hours later. I am so mad at myself for not asking about this during my course. What should I do? |

I cant speak from experience but from talking to other diabetics they confirmed that the menstrual cycle does effect thier BGLs, some for a day or two, some for longer.... |

My menstrual cycle does affect my sugar levels from what I can tell, and in fact, I was thinking about posting something about it here so well done for doing so first. For the record, I'm a 25 year old female. |

Thank you everyone so much, I too get the breast tenderness and I have found that this month I have only suffered high BGL's for two days and today I am heading back to normal now that my period has arrived. Again, thanks so much it has really put my mind at ease knowing that when you're a female diabetic you're not always going to have perfect BGL's. As much as that disappoints me!!!!! |
