Summary

Automated insulin delivery (AID) systems substantially improve diabetes management in people with type 1 diabetes but do not account for menstrual cycle related changes in insulin sensitivity. As a result, many menstruating individuals rely on manual adjustments, such as entering fake carbohydrates, modifying insulin settings, or changing basal rates, to maintain glycemic control. This study aims to systematically characterize these manual adjustment strategies, estimate how frequently they are used across the menstrual cycle, and explore their perceived burden, effectiveness, and implications for the development of future AID algorithms that better address menstrual cycle related insulin variability.
