Patient's question:
Doctor, I am a woman, can I have sex with diabetes? I recently found out that I have diabetes, which is already very troublesome. In the past few days, I also heard from a friend that people with diabetes cannot have sex, which makes me even more frustrated. I want to know if women with diabetes can still have sex after being diagnosed.Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to clarify this question for you. Diabetes is very common now, and almost every household has patients with diabetes. Diabetes is essentially a problem with blood sugar metabolism. As long as you take your medication on time, use it correctly, and control your blood sugar well, it has no impact on your normal life. Any form of exercise is fine. Moreover, people with diabetes must watch their diet, stay active, and exercise more. Sexual activity is also a form of exercise and is beneficial, not harmful, for diabetes. Of course, diabetic patients must pay attention to avoid hypoglycemia and not engage in sexual activity when hungry.
