[QUOTE="sw11bloke, post: 425017, member: 59057"] From a male to a male.... Adam.... Diabetes can affect you ability to perform sexually especially if you do not have good control. (micro & macro vasular issues) It can also lead to lower testosterone levels so as a male, I am sure it can affect fertility. My advice to you is to keep good stable control and to try and keep your HBA1C between 6 and 8%. Something for you to think about is: as a diabetic male, we have a higher rate of passing on diabetes to the child - More so than a diabetic woman. When you do plan to have kids someday, it will definately be worth the while getting advice from a fertility specialist especially one who has experience with diabetes. Kings College Hospital have some hight experienced doctors that work in this area at their diabetic clinic. Hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
