Men aren't the only ones who have sexual problems as a result of diabetes.
It’s not diabetes per se that harms your intimate life. It’s the complications of uncontrolled blood sugar levels that cause problems for both men and women -- the only difference is that many women simply aren’t as aware of this complication as men are.
Women are getting better at coming forward with intimacy issues. But when it comes to diabetes, most are still reluctant to talk to their doctor. They blame the male for Intimacy Problems. Women are getting better at coming forward with intimacy issues. But when it comes to diabetes, most are still reluctant to talk to their doctor.
In the study, 35% of women with diabetes reported being unable to have an orgasm during intercourse, compared to just 6% of the women who didn't have diabetes. One reason women with diabetes may have trouble achieving orgasm is that high blood sugars can affect vaginal lubrication.
In a 1986 study now considered a cornerstone of research on the topic, nearly half the women who participated had a sexual problem. Of these, 32% said they had problems with lubrication. Eighty-nine percent said the problems started after their diabetes diagnosis.
There are many health benefits of good blood sugar control, but many women don’t realize that better lubrication, and, ultimately, a better sex life, may be among them.
Lubrication can be a huge intimacy issue, but it's not the only one women with diabetes may have, There are also important links between glucose levels and genital stimulation -- a factor that affects not only how pleasurable sex feels, but also a woman’s desire for it.
When microcirculation is impaired in men, erectile dysfunction happens -- so the impact is obvious to both partners. In women, the effect isn't as apparent. It’s all about arousal and sensation in the genital area, which frequently no one but the woman herself must acknowledge which most don't.
So get checked and take your medications, It will lead to a better life, sexual and just better health.

My blood sugar is normal as of Monday. Everything is under control. Haven't had the opportunity for love and affection in well over 30 years. No wonder I'm such a grumpy old fart.
