Question:How does diabetes affect male fertility?

Dr. Robert Eckel answers the question: "Diabetes Affect Male Fertility?"

Answer:In the many years that I've been taking care of patients with diabetes, issues related to male fertility have rarely occurred. Certainly, erectile dysfunction is common in patients with diabetes. But questions related to their ability to foster children has been really an infrequent complaint of patients. In general, I don't think patients with diabetes are any more likely to become infertile than patients without diabetes.
