Hypoglycemia and your hormones

One thing some diabetics may notice is that their blood sugars have a tendency to run low when their hormone levels start kicking in. This is something I've noticed in the middle of the month or towards the end of the month.

This, I've been told, is caused largely by your estrogen levels so it might well be that these hormone levels are elevated which can make your cells more sensitive to insulin. I've gone for days on end with my blood sugar not getting above 3.0. That makes you feel really good!

I've found something that seems to work. I used to have a job in a nutrition store which gave me an interest in alternative remedies and vitamins etc. and their benefits, and after taking a few supplements I haven't been bothered with low blood sugar, at least not any related to hormone levels.

It's simple. I take Agnus Castus every day and Wild Yam from day ten onwards right up until the first day of the cycle and it works when it comes to balancing your hormones and your blood sugars. Give it a try but check with your doctor first to make sure this is all right and won't interfere with your medication.
