I’VE JUST LOST INTEREST IN SEX There is a relationship between diabetes and testosterone. Men with diabetes, especially type 2, are more likely to have lower testosterone levels. This can affect sex drive and make ejaculation more difficult. Losing weight will usually help. Your doctor can advise about other treatments.
ANYTHING ELSE? Men with diabetes are at increased risk of Peyronie’s, a disease where the penis is bent too much for comfortable sex. There’s more on all this stuff on the Men’s Health Forum website including many things you can do for yourself and how doctors can help. The good news is that most of the foods that help prevent sexual dysfunction (such as fruit, veg, wholegrains, heart-healthy fats, nuts and fish) are also good for diabetes.
