hormone dangers for diabetics

[Guest guest]

I had a " menopause consultation " with the nurse practitioner

today. I'm in the process of changing hormone

supplementation regimes. She mentioned that there is a

greater risk of clotting for diabetics taking sex hormones.

Does anyone know if this risk is inversely related to one's

blood glucose control, as so much other damage is? Is this

the reason why impaired glucose tolerance (BG 150-200)

increases heart disease risk? Or is it unrelated to BG

levels and just something inherent in how diabetics' bodies

react to the sex hormones? Or is this one of those things

nobody has really looked into yet? (Considering the age of

the boomer generation, SOMEBODY ought to figure this one out

:@)

Inquiring minds want to know!

, this is why a lot of us take ace inhibitors or a therapeutic aspirin

a day, as it helps thin the blood. I don't think it has anything to do with

control, just the diabetes.

Ginger will also thin the blood and I prefer it to aspirin.

HI, . Thanks for this info. I cannot take any

form of aspirin, as I take meds for arthritis. The

combo would/could result in abdominal bleeding. So, I

will try adding some ginger to my daily diet. How do

you use it?

I use it like most herbs I take. I just buy bulk ground and take a partial

ts. and wash it down with water. If you can't stand the taste you can put in

capsules, but that is just extra effort.
