Saw this in an email from Tidepool and thought it may have some interest to women here:

Women’s health and diabetes is core to the work of the Tidepool Period Project. We need more participants for a **paid research opportunity** that will help deepen our understanding of how periods impact diabetes management. In partnership with our friends at Diabetes Center Berne (DCB), we are conducting [a study to explore how menstruation impacts diabetes](https://email.tidepool.org/MjQ4LUlTWi01MzYAAAGWGxQjy_AIeLEWuJ1I7Mmprd3-2FNsSDr8DaxnX0Rcg0_I7Id2gKC22zdq9I6EkrrM_9XuyNk=).

We need you if you are:

- 18 or older,
- live with type 1 diabetes,
- live in the U.S.,
- use a CGM along with an insulin pump and
- track your cycles.

The study can take about an hour, and you will receive $100 for your time. Your data is hugely impactful in helping us understand the effect of menstrual cycles on diabetes management.

[Fill out the survey here](https://email.tidepool.org/MjQ4LUlTWi01MzYAAAGWGxQjy9uJepAzK5OBAc-04-Fmm_2Ui9X0_8hB3dD7IH0fm4pOkaFfigjfdZsiM8eo8Bktz_4=)

_Before starting the survey on your computer, please make sure to upload your diabetes data to your Tidepool account and have your period data handy. Please contact [tpp@tidepool.org](https://email.tidepool.org/MjQ4LUlTWi01MzYAAAGWGxQjy3Bx8qgsEPsUtv50gvTkupB0M5hT5_1zmNuReC5h01wz-mE-V8oJaFQw1i31Tx2UDRQ=) if you have any questions._

Sounds like a great opportunity for those who fit the criteria.
