Patient's question:
Recently, I've found that my sexual function is much worse than before. I also have diabetes—is there a connection?Doctor's answer:
Diabetes is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by hyperglycemia resulting from defects in insulin secretion and/or insulin action. The principles of dietary therapy are: controlling total calorie intake and body weight. Increasing the fat content in food, especially saturated fatty acids, enhancing the fiber content in food, and ensuring the appropriate proportion of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins in the diet. For male patients, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease, whereas delayed treatment may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek timely and symptomatic treatment and avoid overexertion in daily life.
