About this study

In plain language

This study looks at how periods and hormonal birth control affect blood sugar in women with type 1 diabetes. It tests changes to insulin doses and food intake to help manage blood sugar changes during the menstrual cycle. It also looks at how periods and birth control affect blood sugar during exercise and how women report feeling.

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.

Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
