Impact of MEnstruation on Glycemic Response and Exercise In Females With Type 1 Diabetes

Description

The objectives of this study are to examine how sex hormones (use of hormonal birth control, menstrual cycle phase) impact glycemic control among women with type 1 diabetes (T1D), and to test adjustments to insulin dosing and food intake to ameliorate cycle-related glycemic variability. A secondary aim is to examine how the menstrual cycle and use of hormonal birth control impact patient-reported outcomes and glycemic responses to physical activity.

Conditions

Type 1 Diabetes, Hypoglycemia, Hyperglycaemia Due to Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus, Menstruation Disturbances
