Sarah asked in the comments, if Depo is good for Type 1 diabetics…<\/p>\n
My answer:<\/p>\n
Every year, my CDE and my gynocologist and I go around and around on this one, and we usually go with the “isn’t broke don’t fix it”. Every patient has to make up their own mind with their doctor’s guidance.<\/p>\n
My problems are painful periods along with never wanting to have children. The other problem, of course, is diabetes. Most people who menastrate see changes in blood sugar. I see a slight, temporary raising of blood sugar, but very slight with each shot. <\/p>\n
My CDE thinks that the depo probably adds to insulin resistance and weight gain. My answer is, when I get under 175 pounds and I can’t lose any more weight, I’ll consider dropping it for that reason.<\/p>\n
Also, I’m getting close to menopause (I just turned 46) and they claim I won’t have any sympthoms while on depo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
