Hormones and Diabetes Hormones Can Affect Diabetes in Multiple Ways

Denise A. Pancyrz – Diabetes Reversal & Holistic Lifestyle Coach, Speaker, Author

Diabetes Mellitus
Diabetes mellitus is a condition characterized by hyperglycemia resulting from the body’s inability to use blood sugar for energy. In Type 1 diabetes, the pancreas no longer makes insulin and therefore blood sugar cannot enter the cells to be used for energy. In Type 2 diabetes, either the pancreas does not make enough insulin, or the body is unable to use insulin correctly.

Diabetes and Menopause
For women just beginning the stages of menopause or those that have already gone through it, the hormonal imbalance plays a significant role in blood sugar modulation.

According to the Mayo Clinic: Diabetes and menopause may team up for varied effects on your body, including the following:2

• Changes in blood sugar level. The hormones estrogen and progesterone affect how your cells respond to insulin. After menopause, changes in your hormone levels can trigger fluctuations in your blood sugar level. You may notice that your blood sugar level changes more than before and goes up and down. If your blood sugar gets out of control, you have a higher risk of diabetes complications.

• Weight gain. You might gain weight during the menopausal transition and after menopause. Weight gain may require an adjustment in your diabetes medication.

• Infections. Even before menopause, high blood sugar levels can contribute to urinary tract and vaginal infections. After menopause — when a drop in estrogen makes it easier for bacteria and yeast to thrive in the urinary tract and vagina — the risk is even higher.

• Sleep problems. After menopause, hot flashes and night sweats may keep you up at night. In turn, the sleep deprivation can make it tougher to manage your blood sugar level.

• Sexual problems. Diabetes can damage the nerves of the cells that line the vagina. This can interfere with arousal and orgasm. Vaginal dryness, a common symptom of menopause, may worsen the issue by causing pain during sex.

Managing your blood sugar levels and your hormones can be challenge, but its’ essential for your overall health and wellbeing. Hormones can be addressed with bioidentical hormone replacements that the body accepts as natural and contain no chemicals or foreign substances. These can help, as well as dietary and lifestyle changes.

A different way to treat diabetes

DENISE A. PANCYRZ’S STORY
National Diabetes & Holistic Lifestyle Coach – Speaker – Author

I was a diabetic who was angered being burdened with diabetes. I was tired of taking medications and four insulin shots per day that did NOT make me feel better. The food I was taught to eat as a diabetic was not bringing me to a state of optimal health. It was keeping me medicated and constantly visiting Walgreen’s, Diabetes Educators and the doctors.

I wanted my life to be different and the medical community told me it was highly unlikely. In fact, I was told the amount of medication and insulin would increase as I age. However, I learned that you could improve or eliminate disease with proper nutrition, not with unnecessary medication.

I feel better and stronger in my 50s, than I did in my 40s. I have more energy, reversed diabetes, eliminated inflammation that was leading me to heart disease, eliminated IBS and intestinal issues ~ no more stomach aches after meals, my seasonal allergies are gone and a slight skin issue on my elbow healed. I almost forgot, I lost weight in the process.

I know it sounds too good to be true that proper nutrition was able to heal me—I’m living proof. As a national coach, speaker and author, my mission is to help others to achieve optimal health through holistic lifestyle changes. Certified in holistic nutrition and homeopathy, I can bring awareness to diabetics to make lifestyle changes for a lifetime and reverse the effects of diabetes.
