How recently diagnosed are you? Have you had m/any hypos? Are you aware when you are dropping - do you have good hypo symptoms?
Even so, yes having spontaneous sex (if you're doing it right) might be a time when hypo symptoms can go unnoticed. But so long as your partner knows your diabetic, knows what to do if you are hypo & you keep some hypo treatment handy there's no reason not to. Any physical activity can drop blood sugar. If you do notice your hypo while you're "busy", then do try to treat it straight away - you know "darling I'm having so much fun I have to have some sugar" could be taken as a compliment!
Thanks for responding! About 7 months but it all still feels new to me, I am hesitant about things since I am very sensitive to insulin and exercise brings my blood sugar down rapidly. Another concern is that when I am busy or distracted I don't always feel a hypo right awayHow recently diagnosed are you? Have you had m/any hypos?

Hi. I would suggest having some carbs shortly before sex such as a piece of fruit etc.

Thankyou !Hi. I would suggest having some carbs shortly before sex such as a piece of fruit etc.
Thankyou will keep that in mindDepends on ones stamina..? Fruit is ok for a short spike. One might wish something a little longer acting... Giggidy!
Great thanks !Glucose tablets are good (or Lucozade) and then something longer acting like a flapjack/biscuit. Quick to eat and quite concentrated carbs.
Haha perfect advice thankyouHi, I'm not sure if you are male or female..? But believe me (from a guy's point of view.) no matter how big the "distraction" you will notice the first signs of hypoglycemia.. It has the habit of "taking the wind out of one's sails".?! It's one of the earliest warning signs I know.. Unfortunately you can't take this "canary" swimming...
I can't see it being any different for a woman either.
If your partner is confident, secure. & you go low? Let em know, treat & come back brighter..
If your partner takes it "personal"?Remember to treat the hypo. Then "start the car"..
Haha perfect advice thankyou
Im femaleNo problem.. Lol. I'm still unsure of your gender. (It doesn't matter.) but don't forget the contraception!!
Health & safety. Someone's gotta mention it. (yer probably sorted for the carbs.)
Above all, have fun..!
Haha that would be nice ❤❤ thankyou xxTell him to bring flowers and chocolates. Every. Time.
And 'I'm fainting from excitement' never really goes down badly.

Oh well you have to make the most of it rightI have hypos after sex, sometimes you don't want to spoil the moment of course, but leaving it is not a good idea. Been there done that. It just doesn't work. I keep my hypo foods by the bed, my partner doesn't mind me shoving jelly babies in my mouth half way through!
take care x
