of course you can!
:D
although, as with any "strenuous" exercise its worth having a quick snack beforehand.
better slightly high than ending up low
belive me you DO NOT want to have a hypo half way through, it does not end well.
much frustration and oddness ensues.

soaps on telly and people talking about the characters as if they were real.
Diaabetes is not a bar to sex, but you don't sound sure you want to. My advice would be "Wait until you are sure" Are you very young? don't do something you don't want, can't undo and may regret.

The only thing I have found as a barrier to having sex was providing my other half with a wedding ring! :grin:

How wonderfully formal. These days not even introductions seem to be a prerequisite.

Absolutely you can.
There isn't a Diabetic Karma-Sutra out there yet but adapt one of the seven and enjoy yourself.

Hi .

Some fantastic support and suggestions here :thumbup:

I felt a little bit like Hana , upon reading your post .

Please dont feel shy or under pressure if you arn't yet sure .
Talk about it all firstly with your partner if you can ? .

Sex isnt a barrier with your Diabetes , just have a nibble of something carby
like a few crackers/biscuit before then you should be fine . :)

I think that crumbs in the bed are more of a barrier!! Not to forget blood tests between orgasms! I was sooooo tempted to be crude but would probably get banned. Just do it!

Diabetes does not stop you enjoying sex.

I would swap diabetes for sex anyday!! :) Last time I went to doc for check ups, he advised me with regards to erectile disfunction...something I did not know about. Apparently diabetes can be a possible cause!!. So I would advise a visit too your doc and ask her/him.Dont loose out due to embarrassment.
