Can Progesteron help with blood sugar?

Progesterone is not typically used to help with blood sugar; in fact, evidence suggests it may impair glucose tolerance and reduce insulin sensitivity. During the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle or with exogenous progesterone therapy, some women experience transient insulin resistance and higher blood glucose levels. While progesterone plays a role in metabolism, its net effect on blood sugar is neutral or slightly negative, not beneficial. There is no strong evidence that progesterone improves glycemic control in diabetes or prediabetes. The evidence level is 'human-moderate', based on observational and mechanistic studies. Caveat: individual responses vary, and progesterone should not be used as a blood sugar intervention without medical supervision.
