Sex plays a vital part of one's life and is crucial for a healthy relationship.

However, diabetes may affect your sex life, so a new study suggests.

The number of diabetics is on the increase as a result of population growth, increasing obesity and ageing.

The American Diabetes Association stated that there are 12.2 million Americans or 23.1% of Americans aged above 60 who have diabetes.

Older diabetic adults were found to be sexually active, however, this disease causes certain problems with intimacy.

This research involved scientists at the University of Chicago Medical Center undertaking a study of 1,993 people, aged 57 to 85.

The study results highlighted that the study uncovered that diabetic men were more likely to express a lack of interest in sex and suffer from erectile dysfunction .

Diabetic men and women reported a higher incidence of problems with orgasming, including climaxing too fast for men, or not orgasming at all for both men and women.

Just 19% of diabetic women in contrast to 47% of diabetic men had discussed their sexual problems with a G.P.

It is imperative if should you have a sexual problem to talk to your GP.
