Ambulatory Glucose Profile According to Different Phases of the Menstrual Cycle in Women Living With Type 1 Diabetes

Abstract

In most of the study population, glucose levels rose linearly throughout the menstrual cycle, reaching a maximum in the late luteal phase. A sharp decrease was seen for most participants at the beginning of menstrual bleeding. This should be taken into consideration in daily care of type 1 diabetes patients to avoid hypoglycemia.
