Periods and diabetes: what you need to know

No worries at all on “hijacking”—this is exactly the type of thing I think needs to be discussed more! To be honest, I know nothing about any of what you are saying, so I’d like to read up more and learn. I’ve read about basal body temperature tracking before, and have thought about buying a thermometer, but all the ones I see online have black-on-grey screens, which I don’t think I’d be able to see. So I need to find one with a really high contrast screen (like backlit numbers on a black background). I feel like the chaos created by hormones each month and struggling to make adjustments and stay in range has a hugely negative impact on my diabetes control, so if I could get a clearer handle on when and by how much I need to adjust insulin, that would be a huge help.
