Today, I delve into how perimenopause affects blood sugar, especially for those with type 1 diabetes, shedding light on the symptoms and challenges often faced. Discover how hormonal changes as we age affects insulin resistance. My personal journey through travel-induced stress and body awareness, unknowingly experiencing hormonal changes.
For more information on hormone replacement therapy and testing, listen back to Episode 27 with Dr. Tabitha Barber on managing hormone levels and symptoms.
Plus, discover tips for navigating hormone replacement therapy and managing blood sugar levels effectively beginning in perimenopause.
Six key takeaways:
Your usual diabetes management routine may no longer suffice. It can be frustrating, stressful, and feel hopeless at times. Perimenopause can lead to unpredictable blood sugar levels, a need for more insulin, carb cravings and weight gain as your estrogen levels continue to fall. Menopausal symptoms can mimic signs of hypoglycemia, especially at night. The unfamiliar impact of menopause on blood sugar can induce anxiety, stress, and fear. Seeking support and resources to navigate this phase is crucial. I'm eager to explore perimenopause further with you and hear about your experiences managing diabetes.

Join us for an enlightening conversation with Paige Proctor as we delve into her journey of living with type 1 diabetes and navigating insulin therapy. Paige shares her experiences, from her diagnosis at age 8 to adapting to managing her condition with evolving technology.
 
Discover how Paige's passion for fitness led her to study Human Nutrition, Foods, and Exercise in college.
After college, she went to PA school and upon graduating started a job as an Endocrinology PA where she worked for 2 years. She loved working with people with diabetes but didn't love the role she played in the health of my patients- as an Endo PA I was looking at "big picture" things and didn't have enough time to address the "day to day" things that affect our blood sugars as T1Ds- particularly, the way our exercise affects our blood sugars. She left that job and now works as a PA part time in Obesity Medicine and work part time as an online content creator & health and fitness coach for people with diabetes.
 
Explore Paige's holistic approach to managing type 1 diabetes, where she emphasizes the importance of considering lifestyle factors and mental health. Gain practical tips for managing diabetes through shared experiences, exercise, and community support.
