Type 1 In Midlife: Support for Women with Type 1 Diabetes Facing Perimenopause, Menopause, Hormonal Changes, Insulin Resistance, Weight Gain, and Blood Sugar Struggles

Ep 109 - My Daily Diabetes Routine: Hormones, Supplements and Staying Steady


Listen Later

In this personal episode, Melissa pulls back the curtain on her real-life daily routine managing type 1 diabetes through midlife and menopause. She shares what’s working (and what she’s still tweaking), including:

  • Her current insulin delivery setup and why she’s using manual mode overnight
  • Hormone replacement therapy: what, when, and how she applies it daily
  • A full breakdown of her supplements—morning to bedtime
  • Her “internal and external” habits that support stability and resilience
  • Why sleep, faith, reading, and lifting weights are non-negotiables
  • How she’s adjusting routines as she ages—and why you should feel empowered to adapt too

Plus, Melissa invites listeners inside her Type 1 In Midlife coaching group with a 14-day free trial and access to powerful resources, expert guests, and sisterhood support.
