I am diabetic-does it effects sexual life and how to have control over that

[Vichoo_Pennathur]

DearSushik,

No it does not. But you should make it very clear to your better half that diabetes is not a disease. This wrong notion should be removed from everybody's mind. You can enjoy life with your partner once in a week.till the end of your life. It makes no difference. Go ahead and enjoy life.

All the best.
