Sore subject! I have hot flashes all day long, and yes, I'm too old (60) to be in perimenopause, but at least I'm finally here. I used to say my ashes would be bleeding. I'll try to pay better attention to what's going on (or not!) when I test.
This may not apply per say, but I had a hysterectomy in July of 2005. By 2006, I was thinking that I was becoming diabetic. I also lost insurance around that time and we didn't have a community care clinic to go to until about 2 weeks before I got sick in 2009 and was diagnosed in the ER. Who knows?This one is for the ladies
I was wondering if menopause could somehow affect blood glucose. See post : http://www.diabetesforum.com/diabetes-forum-lounge/2128-what-your-fasting-blood-sugar-morning-631.html#post51421
Anyone having those wonderful delightful hot flashes and tested? :mad2:
sorry that made me laugh...you sound like you're chasing storms lol...I do know what you mean though...I've also been volcanic...my daughter says it's just 'digestion' just wait till it's her turn...but you've given me an idea I shall test next time I have a temp hike!I was waiting for a hot flash... and it came!!!! No I'm not crazy. I was simply very curious about how BG behaved during or right after a hot flash. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to test during. Hard to test when you go from normal heat to volcano heat in 60 seconds flat. :target:
Tested 9.8 (176) right after the hot flash was over. Interesting! Before that, maybe an hour before, I was 5.7 (102). I didn't eat or drink anything before that (stupid) hot flash. I went down to 6 (108) one hour later.
I must catch a night time hot flash now...
...
Wish me luck!
