What to watch with Glukose and Wechseljahre?

During menopause, declining estrogen reduces insulin sensitivity, increasing the risk of insulin resistance, impaired glucose tolerance, and type 2 diabetes. Hot flashes and sleep disturbances can elevate cortisol, further destabilizing blood sugar. Key markers to monitor: fasting glucose, HbA1c, postprandial glucose spikes, and symptoms like cravings, post-meal fatigue, and central weight gain. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) can reveal personal patterns. Evidence is based on observational studies and clinical practice—no interventional data from the provided context. Genetic tests (e.g., TCF7L2, PPARG) have limited predictive value for glucose metabolism in menopause. Practical steps: reduce refined sugars, increase fiber and protein, incorporate resistance training and post-meal walks. Always consult a physician for clinical assessment.
