Blood sugar swings cause Hot Flashes?
-
Ok... weird question.... Can blood sugar swings cause "flush" or hot flashes?
-
I will see if Allison or Karen can answer that question..I can not. :(

My face gets red if my blood sugar is high. I don't have experience with hot flashes though. I'm sure it's possible.

Lady36 ... I struggled with hot flashes until I went low carb (paleo/primal 2.5 years). They completely disappeared for me. :)

thank you for the info. At first, I thought maybe it was the Armour thyroid meds. so i went off those over the weekend, but nothing changed. Then, I decided to quit my progesterone cream & drops - the hot flashes lessened but still there. I have also dropped my carbs down to less than 20 - seems to be helping... I will continue to keep the carbs below 20 and see if that solves the problem.

I bet you will see a GRADUAL decrease in hot flashes eating carbs under 30 ... just be patient!! I was prescribed HRT ... had to stop due to all the side effects.

AWESOME Lady36!!! :)

Hi! I'm new here but wanted to share my experience... Before I was diagnosed with diabetes I had horrible hot flashes. Just terrible. Then we found out that I was type 2 and I went on Metformin/Glyburide to control my blood sugar and the hot flashes decreased enormously. When my blood sugar rises I have hot flashes--it's usually my first clue that all is not as it should be. So in my experience yes, definitely high blood sugar causes hot flashes for me!
