Insulin is a type of hormones. I myself, my poor pancreas no longer produces this hormone. So I have to take insulin from outside, through injections.
And what makes diabetes hard to control is I am a FEMALE.
I have other hormones like estrogen and progesterone that might interfere the efficiency of insulin in taking up glucose in blood. These estrogen and progesterone are especially high during ovulation period.
I guess during the PMS days, not only my
MOOD is affected, my
ACNE starts popping up and most important is my
SUGAR is affected too!
Therefore, I have to decide on a higher unit of Insulatard (pre-bed insulin) for the time being.
But, a higher unit of pre-bed insulin might cause
NOCTURAL HYPOGLYCEMIA too.
This really frustrates me
alots! ARGH!
p/s: PLEASE my dear hormones, you all are one big family which made up of polypeptides, for goodness sake, can't you all just treat each other well and fair?! *eye rolling sighed
