I'm not sure honestly. I was diagnosed a year ago with type 2 and my cycles were heavy and stopped after like 3 days then came back even heavier two days later. I ended up having a hysterectomy in April of this year. They started me out on metformin and insulin (18units a day) but a few months ago I went to jardiance once a day. I still struggle with mine some days. Even when I do eat right

It does for me. Depending on how heavy I am is how much it effects me. I just adjust my meds for it and not stress to much since it's not for very long. My doctor said it was normal as our blood sugar rises with any stress.

Mine have been the same since I was younger and haven’t noticed really a change.
