Today is World Menopause Awareness Day, a day dedicated to raising global awareness about menopause and the health-related issues women face during this phase of life.Falling estrogen and progesterone levels during perimenopause and menopause cause increased insulin resistance, which leads to erratic blood sugar swings and makes diabetes harder to manage, as well as increase the liklihood of type 2 diabetes. Today serves as an important reminder to break the silence around menopause, provide support, and educate everyone about the physical and emotional changes that occur, aiming to foster a better understanding of menopause, promote women’s health, and encourage women to take proactive steps in managing their health during midlife.
