4. Yeast infections
Men are not immune to yeast infections, however. The yeast feeds off excess sugar which is found in sweat, urine and mucus.
Yeast infections can be found anywhere on the body, but are more common in areas that tend to retain moisture. Add to that a compromised immunity system, and it can be hard for diabetics to control yeast.
5. Erectile dysfunction
Diabetes uncontrolled can cause erectile dysfunction. This is likely due to damage to the nerves and blood vessel. Erectile dysfunction is a serious issue that affects the partner as well as the patient.
You don’t want to be in a bad relationship with your partner when you already feel lousy from uncontrolled diabetes. So put aside the embarrassment and talk to your doctor as soon as possible.
