If you're having heavy periods, it's important to change your sanitary supplies fairly often, usually every 4 to 5 hours. You may need to do it more often if your period is particularly heavy.  The exception to this rule is you don't need to change them overnight. However, you shouldn't have a tampon in more than 8 hours. You could also try a reusable option, such as a menstrual cup, to keep costs down. While you may not feel like exercising on your period, it can actually help with the cramping and pain. It likely helps because it releases endorphins in your body, which make you feel better overall. Try keeping up your normal exercise routine if you can. Exercise is also helpful for managing diabetes.  If you don't feel up to going to the gym, try a short walk around the block instead. Just do what you think you can do. You can even try taking the stairs to squeeze in a bit of exercise. If your heavy periods are causing more severe cramps, warmth may help alleviate your symptoms a bit. You can use a heating pad on your back or abdomen or try a warm bath. The warmth can help your muscles relax, easing pain. It's important to stay hydrated all the time, but it's especially important on your period. Be sure to drink plenty of water while you're on your period, as you're losing some liquid on your period. Plus, staying hydrated can help you fight symptoms like fatigue and tiredness. As a diabetic, you're more prone to getting dehydrated, as high blood sugar levels can increase dehydration. If you get dehydrated, your blood sugar can actually drop too low. Try to drink 8 to 10 glasses of water a day.

Summary: Change your pad or tampon often. Try a bit of exercise. Use warmth when you have cramps. Get enough water.

Summary: Repeat the petal sequence.


Because this only works if the Tweet is much shorter than 280 characters, it's recommended that you use the official retweet button instead. Still, this is an effective method of quoting and reposting a tweet. After you've copied the content, open a new Tweet box and paste the content into the message. This shows that the content is a retweet and isn't your own content. This is the most courteous way to borrow the content and tip your hat to the original author. You can also add your own comment at the beginning of the message. Example: Wow! RT (@username) "Quoting a tweet is so easy."
Summary: Copy the content of the Tweet you'd like to share and retweet it. Add the letters RT and the Tweet author's @username. Click Tweet to post the message to your followers.
