Joining Dr Louise on this week’s episode is Victoria Faulkner, who was diagnosed with type one diabetes in childhood. Victoria talks about day to day life managing menopause and diabetes, as well as her experiences of a surgical menopause due to treatment for endometriosis.
Finally she shares the three things she thinks women with type one diabetes should know about hormonal health, and what has helped her personally:
<ol><li>Familiarise yourself with the NICE guidelines on diabetes and see what you can access to monitor your diabetes</li>
<li>Use a body map to track your symptoms ahead of any appointments you have to help discussions on any symptoms you might be experiencing</li>
<li>Ask your healthcare professional for a continuous glucose monitor to help monitor your blood sugars and spot any patterns, and if possible, push for a sensor augmented pump system to monitor any highs or lows.</li>
