PCOS, PMS and Perimenopause, What Role Does Glucose Play?

Body Signals

Exploring glucose from a female perspective: with co-host Estelle Lampela, in this episode we speak with OB/Gyn Dr. Mary Parman about the role glucose plays in the female reproductive system. The discussion includes topics like:

  • The relationship between PCOS and glucose
  • Why hormonal changes can cause changes in glucose levels
  • Perimenopause and how monitoring glucose using a CGM can aid in weight management and transitioning into "maintenance" health mode

This and much more in this illuminating episode. If you'd like to learn even more, check out our scientifically-backed articles about how your period can affect blood sugar, and how hormones can affect weight loss.

SIGNOS INDICATIONS: The Signos Glucose Monitoring System is an over-the-counter (OTC) mobile device application that receives data from an integrated Continuous Glucose Monitor (iCGM) sensor and is intended to continuously measure, record, analyze, and display glucose values in people 18 years and older not on insulin. The Signos Glucose Monitoring System helps to detect normal (euglycemic) and low or high (dysglycemic) glucose levels. The Signos Glucose Monitoring System may also help the user better understand how lifestyle and behavior modification, including diet and exercise, impact glucose excursions. This information may be useful in helping users to maintain a healthy weight.
The user is not intended to take medical action based on the device output without consultation with a qualified healthcare professional.
See user guide for important warnings and precautions.
STELO IMPORTANT INFORMATION: Consult your healthcare provider before making any medication adjustments based on your sensor readings and do not take any other medical action based on your sensor readings without consulting your healthcare provider. Do not use if you have problematic hypoglycemia. Failure to use Stelo and its components according to the instructions for use provided and to properly consider all indications, contraindications, warnings, and cautions in those instructions for use may result in you missing a severe hypoglycemia (low blood glucose) or hyperglycemia (high blood glucose) occurrence. If your sensor readings are not consistent with your symptoms, a blood glucose meter may be an option as needed and consult your healthcare provider. Seek medical advice and attention when appropriate, including before making any medication adjustments and/or for any medical emergency.
