I am 36 with a 34 year history of insulin use. I was ALWAYS high before periods until about 6 months ago. Now low without any hope of keeping sugars up around starting time. It could be anywhere from 4 days before to 4 days after. They last from 2-8 days!

In my experience, these hormone fluctations are different everytime which makes planning difficult. <br /><br />I had a quick search online but couldn't see much research to back up any particular course of action. It's a good one to ask your endo about - I certainly will ask mine!Sally Marchinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13878534156821936364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6078033671006632606.post-31028350418826812912012-04-20T19:11:49.887-05:002012-04-20T19:11:49.887-05:00Wow!

I am glad to hear this though, because I don't think I have ever experienced anything quite as dramatic as the lows of the previous nights. Where nothing I ate made a difference. The juice and food kept me from dropping too low, but didn't bring me up enough to be normal. <br /><br />Thanks for your comment!Wendy Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10585149956339276528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6078033671006632606.post-18503536995232397612012-04-20T17:11:08.256-05:002012-04-20T17:11:08.256-05:00Funny, I was just gonna blog about MY hormones! I ...Funny, I was just gonna blog about MY hormones! I had a total Hysterectomy last August, and my blood sugars were "normal" until I started HRT, then HIGH, HIGH, HIGH!! If I go some days without the HRT patch I run much lower...<br /><br />BEFORE my surgery I has what you explained, highs the week before the period and then lows starting with the period and for the next week. What REALLY sucks is now I can see my 11yr old (no period) follow her older sisters cycling! If sister is PMS then the 11yr old runs higher, and starting the period and week after she runs low. YIKES!!!!!!! The hormones can be seen even before periods start!!!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17009502794324247532noreply@blogger.com
