birthcontrol and DM
Dear Joan the lurker
I’ve been a DMer for 15 years, and I’ve been on various different
birthcontrol pills for the last 5 and the BEST type (no weight gain; no
moodiness, apart from the usual;no other side effects for me) has been
Micronor, it’s a mini-pill produced by Janssen-Cilag and contains 350 mcg.
of Norethisterone. Both my General Practice doctor and my Endo, and my CDE
think that it’s the best for anyoen with diabetes…give it a go! You do
have to take it at the same time every day, but I think that that is easier
for us DMers than for non-DMers.
Cheers
Nicola
