The impact of hormones throughout menstrual cycles on blood glucose and insulin needs (#30)

Todays episode addresses the influence of hormones throughout the
menstrual cycle on glucose levels and insulin requirements. The
female body as a whole and women-specific affairs are still highly
under researched. Yet, by looking at the menstrual cycle we can
learn much about hormones in general, important to all genders.
Research around gender-specific needs, treatments and medical care
is essential for the overall well-being of humanity. Fundamental
research and education for girls and women around the world is
needed to support and improve their diabetes management.

And those are the topics I discuss with the medical student Darius
Mewes. He is studying at Charité in Berlin, Europe's largest
university hospitals and the 5th best hospital in the world. More
than half of all German Nobel Prize winners in Physiology and
Medicine, 
including Robert Koch, have worked at there.

Together with his colleague Katarina Braune, he published an
analysis of subjectively perceived glycemic variations and therapy
adjustments with respect to the menstrual cycle. We discuss his
findings and much more :)
