Diabetes and Sex
Both type 1 and type 2 diabetes can lead to complications. In some cases, sexual performance can be affected by diabetes.
Up to 50% of men and 25% of women may experience some kind of sexual problems or a loss of sexual desire as a result of diabetes.
For people with diabetes, this includes maintaining proper blood sugar levels. Sex is exercise in the sense that it uses energy, so be aware of your glucose levels. If you're using medications that increase the amount of insulin in your body, hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) can also occur during sex.
Sexual health issues specific to men
The most widely reported sexual health issue facing men with diabetes is ED. Some cases of diabetes are first diagnosed when a man seeks treatment for ED.
Failure to achieve or maintain an erection until ejaculation can be caused by damage to the nerves, muscles, or vascular structures. According to the Cleveland Clinic, about half of men with diabetes will experience ED at some point.
Side effects of certain medications can alter testosterone levels, also causing ED. Other conditions that accompany diabetes can also contribute to ED. They include:
- Obesity
- High blood pressure
- Depression, low self-esteem, and anxiety
- Being inactive or not getting enough exercise
