How are Glukose and Wechseljahre related?

The relationship between glucose metabolism and menopause is well established in medical literature, though not covered in the provided context. The decline in estrogen during menopause reduces insulin sensitivity, increasing the risk of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. Genetic tests for single SNPs (e.g., ACE, SOD2) have very limited predictive power for this complex trait. The evidence for the menopause–glucose link is moderate (human-observational), and lifestyle factors (diet, exercise) are far more impactful. No specific studies from the context directly address this question. Therefore, the answer is based on general medical knowledge. Consumers should be cautious of overhyped DNA tests claiming to predict menopause-related metabolic changes.
