A member asked:

Is it normal for your blood sugar to drop while having menstrual cramps?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Diabetes??: Do you have diabetes? Have you documented low blood sugars? Typically our female patients with diabetes have trouble with high blood sugars around the time of their periods. If you don't have diabetes or haven't had documented low blood sugars during your period, but suspect hypoglycemia, please discuss with your doctor.
