Don't know about production, but it certainly affects 'delivery'. :wink:

What do you mean mr Burden. Less of it, or an inability to deliver any? Please clarify. New to diabetes. Got it all to come maybe?

I think mrburdens comment was a little tongue in cheek. Erectyle dysfunction is very common amongst diabetics. Never heard it affecting sperm count however but not sure.

I've had type 1 for 37 years now, since age 11. Got 2 children without any difficulties. I've never heard that diabetics suffer problems with sperm count or production but, as 'mo1905' says, the delivery can be compromised through erectile dysfunction. But there are ways to deal with that if it occurs.
