Her endo swore she was nuts but I've heard since then that others share her experience.
| Really?! It's a well known thing. Any hormone changes in a body are likely to affect other hormones... Periods play with hormones, and insulin itself is a hormone. There's trouble!
Maybe some people don't notice it - I myself took a LONG time to click to the pattern! (highs for a week or more prior, and then lows hit with a wham as soon as the period starts).
DD: welcome to DF  I didn't have what you're going through because I had menopause kick in a few years before I became a T1 diabetic. Menopause certainly does play with you for a while... but it takes a while to be sure it's peri menopause so just watch things and take note.
If you have ANY doubt about it, talk to your doctor - I'd hate for you to think it's nothing and then find out you could have prevented trouble if you'd seen the doctor earlier...
