Diabetes and HRT can be a dangerous combination. Get your blood work monitored by a doctor to make sure that you don't end up killing yourself. The can also answer your questions about what to expect over how long and can tailor your treatment to your blood chemistry so that you actually take the testosterone down to about nil and the estrogen is where it should be.

i don't know much about diabetes, but from what i do know, it deals with blood sugar. M2F meds are hormone-based. first stage is to take something that will slow down or block the flow of natural testosterone, the next step will be to take actual female hormones.. everyone will be different, but time frame to see mature results from hormones are probably 3-5 years..

Some of the medications used in gender reassignment, such as spironolactone, can upset your blood sugar. This doesn't necessarily mean you can't use them if you're diabetic, but you should only use hormone treatment under the close supervision of a doctor skilled in endocrinology.
