I’ve read female hormones will raise/lower blood glucose (i.e. estrogen makes cells more receptive to insulin, progesterone more resistant) but I’m wondering if you’ve experienced that higher blood glucose disturbs/worsens menstruation? I guess I’m asking if the higher glucose will actually affect hormonal production–I haven’t found anything that points to this.
My recent cycle was horrible, and accordingly my glucose levels had gotten out of hand. I’m just wondering if anyone else has noticed this happen? Maybe it’s just being out of whack is stressful and makes menstruation worse in that regard?? Thoughts?
