[QUOTE="theacatsmother, post: 145377, member: 27624"] I'm female. When I was diagnosed T2 about 11 years ago I went through a period of depression and my desires of all kinds went haywire. Could your boyfriend be a bit depressed about his diagnosis? Could he have any other health problems that haven't been diagnosed yet? Are any of his other desires affected? I found it especially hard to enjoy food and other likes/things that could be classified as desires. The mind is very powerful, much more than we realise. I had a course of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) and found it useful. It helped me get things generally in perspective and my desires started to come back. I still have a problem with sex, but I do have several other health problems that interfere with libido. Fortunately I have a very supportive wonderful partner who understands it's difficult for me. He's not demanding in the sex department and generally I don't know what I'd do without him. Do get your boyfriend to see his GP and Diabetes Specialist Nurse. Get them to test for other problems, eg Thyroid, Anaemia. And don't be embarassed. They have heard it all before. [/QUOTE]
