Hormone shifts don't always scream — they whisper. If you're living with type 1 diabetes, even subtle changes can throw everything off. In this episode, Melissa dives into why paying attention matters and how to use tools like the Greene Climacteric Scale to get clarity and confidence in midlife.

Melissa shares:

• Why you shouldn't dismiss feeling "off" as just aging
• A client story of regaining focus, balance, and energy after starting HRT
• The subtle symptoms that whisper: anxiety, irritability, brain fog, weight gain, slower recovery, and aches and pains
• Self-check questions to ask: Am I sleeping deeply? Has my focus shifted? Do I feel like myself most days?
• How the Greene Climacteric Scale helps track patterns, validate your experiences, and start better conversations with your doctor

In our Type 1 in Midlife Circle, we're using the Greene Climacteric Scale to measure and track symptoms together — so no woman must navigate this season alone.

Don't brush off what's changing. Pay attention, act, and surround yourself with women who understand both diabetes and midlife hormones.
