I've been type 1 for 10 years and on HBC for 4. I have never ever been told by any of my doctors that HBC would raise my bloodsugars and I've never had any kind of issue related to my diabetes while being on HBC.
I have a pump so I have fairly good control anyways. I use the nuvaring and I love it. I like that it has a lower dose of hormones and that I never have to think about it. It really has no effect on my bloodsugars, I can say for certain, nor does my bloodsugar run higher around my period as someone else suggested.
I think you do have to keep in mind that everyone's bodies will react differently, whether related to diabetes or not. If you're really worried have a chat with your endo before you try HBC.
