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.
