Sex is an important part of life and relationships. But diabetes can affect a woman’s sex life. Some women with diabetes have less interest in sex because of depression or levels can make some women feel tired all the time. Or perhaps intercourse is painful because of vaginal dryness. Problems with having sex aren’t a normal part of getting older and don’t happen to all women who have diabetes.

If you find that you don’t enjoy sex anymore, it’s normal to feel upset. You may blameyourself or your partner. Some women feel angry or depressed. These feelings can make it hard for you to talk openly with your partner. Don’t give up! Find someone on your health care team to talk with. Learn about medicines or counseling that can help.
