Ladies--anyone else coping with the big M or perio--big M(enopause, [View All]

[blondeatlast]

of course)?

I'm perio-ing and it is effing miserable! It's making my bGs go from one extreme to the other in a matter of an hour or two--UGH.

Looks like I'm a good candidate for HRT; I've weighed the risks and benefits and combined with all the other health burdens I think it's a good idea for me. It's dangerous as hell for my bGs to fluctuate this wildly--my hypos (I've had SEVEN in the past week) have been pretty severe. Tremors, loss of consciousness, the whole nine yards.

There is no history of breast cancer in my family and my mom has taken Premarin for 40 years (she's a pretty healthy 82 years now), so...

If there are any other diabetics out there who have gone through this or are going through it, I would appreciate any advice you may have--and I'll make a blatant plea for support from all comers in the meantime!

In the immortal words of Lucy van Pelt--AAAAAUUUUUGGGGHHHH!
