Question about blood sugar and TOM
I am very new to all this. In February we discovered I have reactive hypoglysemia. Some times the meals I plan are great. at other times two hours after the same meal I am below 70 which is low for me since I begin to have trouble functioning (decisions are very hard at times)
I track my food and have not found a link yet. I had the lap band, not that that should matter.
My question is can there be a link to blood sugar levels and menstral cycle. I my dad is diabetic so much of this is not totally new but he really did not have this concern so he can't help me with this one . (truthfully would never ask him this since he thinks of me as his little girls still.)
My PCP is a little baffeled too so I thought I would ask here.
Thanks,
Michele S.

I absolutely have a link between my diabetes and my TOM, although mine goes up during my cycle. I have spoken to my endo about it, and he said that the stress to your system during your TOM can cause crazy things to happen with your blood sugar.
