For us ladies

[Catherine Lindsay]

Does having our periods make any difference to our blood sugars? I was surprised this am to have a reading of 7.2 cos I munched 2 whispas in the nite.

 

[Lucy Honeychurch]

Yes for me...higher before and during, then lows after.

 

[helli]

Definitely.
I have never been the most regular but I have a better idea when it's going to start now because my blood sugars rise a couple of days beforehand.
I need to increase my basal for a few days.

 

[Cherrelle DUK]

Yep, the hormonal changes have an impact on glucose levels so worth paying extra attention around that time.

Thank you ladies, I'm behaving today

That’s interesting, my daughter seems to go the other way round, low during and then sky high for a couple of days after! But not every month is the same

7.2 not bad after two bars then as I googled and they are 25.5g good grief, remind me to stop pinching Mum's chocs from her tin.

With regards to the other I'm past all that thank goodness, there are lots of things to be said for growing old, I'm a dried out husk, it's great.

Mine are 6 to 7 weeks apart I can't wait for them to go completely!!!

Took me about 35 years to realise why I suddenly wanted chocolate around once a month doh 🙄 But like @Ditto that's all the in the past for me now 🙂
