See your doctor: 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, discuss with doctor. If you've lost consciousness you need medical attention. May have nothing to do with blood sugar.
