Menses & Fertility

Menses

Menses become irregular or may cease when diabetes is uncontrolled and become regular when diabetes is well controlled. The kidney threshold for glucose may be reduced during menstruation. Hence glucose may appear in urine even with normal blood glucose level. Fluctuations in blood glucose level may occur in different phases of the menstrual cycle. The pattern of fluctuations is characteristic of the particular individual. In some women with diabetes, the blood glucose level rises and the glucose appears in the urine just before the period is due. In such women, the insulin requirement increases before the period. After the period is over, the insulin requirement returns to normal. In some diabetic women, the blood glucose level may fall before the period and rise again after the period is over. Sanitary pads are preferable to tampons because tampons may give rise to severe bacterial infection that can produce shock. Pelvic infection is more common in tampon users.

Fertility

Until the introduction of insulin, conception was a problem with young diabetic women. Women with well controlled diabetes have normal fertility. Women with insulin resistance have brownish black pigmentation in the skin folds, typically in the nape of the neck, armipts and groins. These women may have associated oily skin, acne and unwanted facial and body hair. They are often obese and have irregular menses. Such women may have decreased fertility.
