Hi,
Are you a fairly new menstruator? (Is that a word?) You don't say how old you are. Periods can hit hard in the early months or years. I have two teenager daughters, and the older diabetic one has less of a hard time than her younger non-diabetic sister, who actually passed out and cut open her head while in the midst of a bad period.
I haven't heard of diabetes having an impact on menstruation? Has anyone else?

Actually earlier this year it has been bad to the point that I could not sleep at night because of the pain. Is your daughter doing better? My guess is it has to do with insulin shots especially when injected through the stomach.
