Menstrual Cycle Study: Identifying changes in insulin sensitivity across the menstrual cycle in T1D
DCB and Tidepool are entering a partnership to explore the relationship between diabetes and womenโs health. The first initiative in this collaboration focuses on the menstrual cycle’s influence on insulin-dependent diabetes.
Menstrual Cycle Study
Recognising the challenges faced by women with insulin-dependent diabetes, research specifically investigating the menstrual cycle’s impact on diabetes management remains limited so far. This lack of focused study has hindered the development of tailored treatment strategies for women.
Diabetes Center Berne (DCB) and Tidepool aim to fill this critical research gap. The joint effort is focused on examining the interplay between the menstrual cycle and diabetes management, with the goal of enhancing care and improving quality of life.
With the goal of supporting the development of clinical guidance, tools, and products to reduce the burden of diabetes management throughout the menstrual cycle, Tidepool and DCB are joining forces to explore the relationship between menstrual cycles and insulin-dependent diabetes. While Tidepool facilitates access to the data of people living with type 1 diabetes who menstruate and provides their expertise in data collection for this initiative, DCB provides expertise in clinical research and research infrastructure.
