Summary
This study looks at how blood sugar levels change during the menstrual cycle in women with type 1 diabetes. Researchers will track 86 women in Canada using continuous glucose monitors, insulin data, ovulation kits, and activity trackers. The goal is to understand why insulin needs often shift during the cycle, which could lead to better diabetes management.
