Question:
Why does my blood glucose run high before I have my menstrual period?
Answer:
Many women with diabetes have swings in blood glucose control around the
time of menstruation. There are many possible reasons for this, from changes
in behavior (eating more food) to hormonal changes (high estrogen levels
before the period begins can increase your insulin requirements). Young
women seem to have the largest swings in blood glucose during their monthly
cycle and need to adjust their insulin. Older women also have erratic swings
in hormone levels and may have a challenge with managing blood glucose.
As you become familiar with your body's rhythm, you may find the changes in
your insulin needs become predictable from month to month. Monitor your
blood glucose often and adjust your insulin as necessary during your
menstrual period.
