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!
