| Welcome DD! Are you T1 or T2 diabetic? I'm T2, and when diagnosed, I had been having very irregular periods (2-3/year for several years ). I was started on metformin and got my blood sugars normalized, and starting having regular monthly cycles.
I think the insulin resistance can sometimes wreck havoc with our menstrual cycles.
Also, if you haven't been having regular periods, when you do start having them every month, you will notice an increase in volume for the first few months, due in part to NOT having had one for awhile.
If this problem continues, i'd check with my GYN, as there are many options for minimizing menstrual symptoms, and you'll want to rule out any potential gynecological problems that may have nothing to do with diabetes.
