Does diabetes affect period?

Question

I was recently diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, and my periods have become very irregular. Can diabetes actually affect my menstrual cycle?

Geeta Sharma · Accepted Answer

Yes, absolutely. Hormonal imbalances like diabetes and thyroid can easily cause irregular periods. I always suggest getting regular hormone panel tests done and visiting your gynecologist for a proper treatment plan.

Yes, high sugar levels affect ovulation, leading to delayed or heavy periods. Since we have busy work schedules, tracking your cycles on an app and showing the data to a gynecologist is the most efficient way to handle this.

Beti, high sugar causes a lot of heat and imbalance in the body, which disturbs the monthly cycle. Drink fennel water in the morning and avoid cold drinks, but do consult a good lady doctor for proper medicine.

Actually yes yaar, high insulin levels can mess with your ovaries and cause irregular cycles. It is very closely linked to PCOS too. Don't ignore it if your dates are constantly shifting.

Yes, insulin resistance is a big culprit behind erratic periods! 🌸 Getting your sugar levels down will help regulate your cycles. Focus on a low-carb diet and regular walks!
