Directly? No. Indirectly? I appear to be outnumbered by females in this threads, so I'll quietly address other points.

Interesting. All the sugar runs to your blood, leaving your personality with a dearth of sweetness. PMS finally is explained!
(For those who don't know: Lizzie and I take good-natured jabs at one another. I figured that, considering recent spats between people in other threads, I should point out that her/my remarks are well-intentioned.)

Perhaps it's tough to analyze directly. However, treating the system as one of several dependent variables -- time of year, time of month, time of day, exercise level, et cetera -- it should be possible to correlate the dependent variable (insulin needs). Think of it as an exercise in data warehousing, data cubes, OLTP, or something along those lines.
I'm quite interested in solving various D-related problems, including that one. If any women keep good, contiguous logs of the aforementioned independent factors
along with all CHO and insulin data, and don't mind sharing for analysis... please let me know!
