Hey Victoria! I'm a little late on seeing your post, but wanted to help if I can! Apologies in advance for a long post! 
I've been type 1 since I was 6, going on 23-years now. So first off, totally normal to run high during periods. You mentioned temp basals, so are you on a pump then? Maybe ask your trainer/Endo about adjusting your insulin sensitivity levels for while you're on your period. Everyone's different, but I think that'd be a good starting point. . .
Hope you're able to find a good solution!diabetes sucks and dealing with constant highs that aren't in your control doesn't help. 😒
Just remember you're not alone! Totally here for you if there's anything I can help with! 💕
