Abstract

Women often around 40’s or 50’s, get menopause (MP) and their oestrogen levels decline. Around the same time type 2 diabetes generally develops and thus both coincide. Menopause marks the end of ovarian function, and it is called ‘early’ or ‘premature’ if it occurs before 45 years. While very little is known about the menopause transition in Diabetic women, diabetes will accelerate the reproductive ageing and determine premature ovarian failure by various mechanisms. The menopausal transition is accompanied by metabolic changes that predispose to type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), as menopause results in increased risk of upper body adipose tissue accumulation and increased incidence of insulin resistance.
