Emotional Turmoil

 Hi Ladies - ok....so I am finally figuring out a pattern here. I am Type 1 for the past 6 years or so..... It seems that the week before my period - I need ALOT more insulin. And not because I am eating more. I adjusted my basal up a bit today....actually created a different basal schedule on my pump. Does anyone else have this happen? If so, do you need twice the amount of insulin than the weeks before? I am giving myself a bolus every hour it seems and I barely go down. I have a dexcom and I watch the trend....and yep! Still going up as I type. Geez....this month seems exceptionally difficult to keep the sugars in control. I heard our hormones can do this but I would love to hear from others what they experience around "that time of the month". Thanks!

Hello friends. Welocme to my blog.
Let me introduce myself. I'm Yuppie. I am an MBA and am currently working i n a Media House.
As the name of my blog suggests, I am a type-1 diabetic. I am 25 now and was diagnosed with diabetes at the age of 20.
Let me tell you all the purpose of writting this blog. I want to make this blog as a platform for me and all my fellow diabetics to feel free to share our life experiences of being diabetic. Let us make this an interactive platform to share and learn from each other's experiences. I would try to create awareness about type-1 diabetes too through this blog. Let us all remember, the tagline of this blog is " Towards a better life".

So let's get started and welcome to my world.
