Could Hormonal Changes Be Affecting My Blood Sugar?

Do you think that fluctuations in my sugar could be related to my hormones? I have been keeping a log of my diet intake and blood sugars throughout the last few weeks. Ever since my sugars decided to go through the roof. And you know what, I am convinced that there has to be some sort of direct correlation between them and my hormonal changed throughout the month.

I should have prefaced that with a little tidbit about me, well actually it is one of those TMI (too much information), but necessary in the story. I had to have a complete hysterectomy after the birth of my third daughter, so all of it is gone in there. The specifics are too much to go into on this post, it is for another time, but the point is that I do not get a monthly cycle anymore.

I am one of those people that believes that you still feel all the signs and symptoms of a period, and you will never convince me otherwise. Whether it is physical or emotional I could tell you the date without a calendar and just listening to my body. With that being said, my blood sugars took a drastic dip this past weekend, they were in the toilet with no rhyme or reason. And it would have totally been my monthly cycle time.

So, is it related? When I woke this AM to the highest blood sugar in the past week or so, I realized that I was not so “hormonal” anymore. I know in menopause, women’s blood sugars can fluctuate on the low side, but I should be done menopause by my labs. Who knows, maybe it is just some far reach to wrap my brain around this whole up and down thing.

I still have another 5 weeks till I see the endocrinologist. I will keep on keepin’ track of my blood sugars, diet, exercise and body changes. Ugh, it is frustrating though having to wait and watch while my body doesn’t want to cooperate. Not that it is horrible by any means, many have it way worse of then me. It is not the end of the world, just annoying and worrisome.
