This trial is testing whether personalizing insulin doses, food intake, and other diabetes management strategies based on your menstrual cycle phase can help you maintain better blood sugar control. Researchers will first observe your blood sugar patterns throughout three menstrual cycles using a continuous glucose monitor, then offer some participants personalized adjustments to their insulin regimen tailored to each phase of their cycle. The goal is to help women with type 1 diabetes manage their blood sugar more effectively by accounting for the natural hormonal changes that occur throughout the month.
Many women with type 1 diabetes report that their blood sugar becomes harder to control at different points in their menstrual cycle, yet current insulin recommendations are typically one-size-fits-all. This study exists to understand how hormonal changes affect blood sugar and to develop personalized strategies that could make diabetes management easier and reduce dangerous blood sugar swings.

You will wear a continuous glucose monitor for three months while researchers track your blood sugar patterns across your menstrual cycle and during different types of exercise. After this observation period, you may be randomly placed into either a personalized treatment group (which receives custom adjustments to your insulin dose, food intake, and diabetes settings based on your cycle) or a standard care group (which continues your current diabetes management). Throughout the study, you'll share information about your daily activities, planned exercise, and how you're feeling.
