Can people with diabetes have sexual life?

Patient's question:

I recently got into a relationship, and things with my girlfriend are quite stable. If nothing goes wrong, we should get married. Yesterday, when we wanted to have sex, we were careful about some issues. But I have diabetes, so I want to ask if it's possible to have sex with diabetes?

Doctor's answer:

First of all, it is certainly possible to have sexual life after getting diabetes. Sexual life should be appropriate and not too frequent. Diabetes is an endocrine metabolic disease that requires oral hypoglycemic drugs under the guidance of a doctor, combined with insulin for treatment. It is necessary to control diet, enhance physical activity, check blood sugar regularly, and cooperate with traditional Chinese medicine for treatment, which has a good effect. With bad habits like smoking and drinking beer, it is best to avoid them as much as possible.
