Hello,

Thanks for brining your question to dLife.

Glad that you ask the question as most women don’t talk about it.

We often hear that diabetes can cause erectile dysfunction and sexual issues in men. What we don’t hear as often is the impact diabetes can have on a woman’s sexuality.

Experts believe that women with diabetes have a harder time getting in the mood, saying something, getting involved and then getting their body to react with that mood.

On an earlier episode, dLife presented a conversation on what a woman can do to make sex enjoyable with diabetes. Click here to read the transcript! The topic starts at the bottom of page 6.

Take care.
