Teen with type 1 and menstral issues

[kraysmom]

My daughter is 16 and is a type 1 diabetic.  She has pituitary suppression and insulin binding antibodies.  Her specialist have put her on the insulin called Apidra and is working wonderfully but she is having a lot of menstrual problems.  They have put her on several different pills to help control this but none are working.  Every time she has spotting or a true cycle, she gets very sick to her stomach and her sugar rises very high. She goes into DKA very quickly with this. This seems to be her only downfall right now to controlling her sugars.  Her sugars are usually great until an episode comes on and she is very sick.  Does anyone have any advice for us?  We have literally tried everything to get her under control.
