Patient's question:
My husband had some health issues recently, including excessive sweating and skin itching. After a thorough examination, he was diagnosed with diabetes and is now undergoing treatment. I don't know if diabetes is contagious. Especially during intimate moments with my husband, should we take some precautions? Will a diabetic person infect their partner during sexual activity?Doctor's answer:
Diabetics will never transmit the disease to their partners during sexual activity, and diabetes is not an infectious disease. This is something you must be reassured about. Diabetics should pay close attention to their diet in daily life, eat fewer meals but more frequently, avoid sugary foods, consume more whole grains, exercise moderately, avoid staying up late, and not get angry. It is important to maintain a regular lifestyle, adhere to oral hypoglycemic medications, and regularly check blood sugar levels at the hospital. The above can serve as a reference.
