A member asked:
I have recently been taking more insulin then normal and been under alot of stress, can that effect when my period will come?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes -- cortisol: Stress can increase cortisol (a natural steroid hormone). This can worsen blood sugar control, and can also have effects on reproductive cycles. Do what you can / is under your control to reduce stress. You may also consider meditation. Be well.
