I haven’t had period in 3 months. My glucose is usually in very good control with hba1c levels between 6 and 6.5. The past few months have been impossible: more and more readings above 250, disrupted sleep, hot flashes, racing heart. Feels like panic attacks-- maybe it is sometimes and maybe not. Does anything help?
Of course ask your own doctor, but my gyno recommended I try Black Cohosh, and it helped me a little bit. It takes a while to get through this; you aren’t even considered to be “in menopause” until you haven’t had a period in 12 consecutive months. 
Thanks so much for your suggestion. I’ll certainly look into it!
This is what happens when to me when my thyroid meds are not quite right. Might you have a thyroid issue?
One of my MDs did have me tested a year ago for thyroid issues and that test came out normal. However, due to a lot of pain I have been experiencing, my endocrinologist refrerred me to a rheumatologist whom I saw recently. He thinks i have osteoarthritis but had me take several blood tests to rule out any other inflammatory disease. Thank you for your feedback!
I had the same symptoms as you @Laurarose, every time I woke up with my heart pounding I thought it was a hypo, especially with all the sweating. and yep, panic attacks, wild blood sugar swings, emotional swings, skin weirdness. Fortunately I found the TuDiabetes community at this time.
Has anyone taken black cohash and noticed their blood sugar levels rise after taking it? I am spiking overnight and I’ve ruled out evening food sources. I’m starting to think it is the black cohash I take before bed.
