Sexual Health
Sex is an important part of life and relationships. But diabetes can affect a man's sex life. It is important to understand that there is not just one reason a man with diabetes might be experiencing sexual health issues.
- Some men with diabetes have erectile dysfunction or ED, which is when a man can no longer have or keep an erection.
- Low testosterone is a condition twice as common in men with type 2 diabetes as in men without diabetes. While symptoms of low testosterone can include erectile dysfunction (ED) and a diminished interest in sex, low testosterone also impacts your physical and emotional health, with symptoms such as reduced muscle mass and depressed mood and fatigue.

- Anxiety, stress, and depression that may accompany diabetes can also have
an impact on your libido and ability to get or maintain an erection.
