Diabetes, often referred to by doctors as diabetes mellitus, describes a group of metabolic diseases in which the person has high blood glucose (blood sugar), either because insulin production is inadequate, or because the body's cells do not respond properly to insulin, or both. Patients with high blood sugar will typically experience polyuria (frequent urination), they will become increasingly thirsty (polydipsia) and hungry (polyphagia).

Diabetes continues to be a major menace that keeps the medical community on tenterhooks. This is one ailment that affects multiple organs of human body including the kidneys, eyes and heart. Diabetes also wrecks havoc with essential processes like digestion, nervous system functioning and makes life pathetic for the victims. Sadly, diabetes does not spare your sexual prowess either. Both men and women can face fertility problems after becoming diabetic.

People can often have diabetes and be completely unaware. The main reason for this is that the symptoms, when seen on their own, seem harmless. However, the earlier diabetes is diagnosed the greater the chances are that serious complications, which can result from having diabetes, can be avoided. Diabetes is a long-term condition that causes high blood sugar levels.

There are 3 types of diabetes.

Type 1 Diabetes, Type 2 Diabetes and the Gestational Diabetes.

All types of diabetes are treatable. Diabetes type 1 lasts a lifetime, there is no known cure. Type 2 usually lasts a lifetime; however, some people have managed to get rid of their symptoms without medication, through a combination of exercise, diet and body weight control. The majority of gestational diabetes patients can control their diabetes with exercise and diet. Between 10 to 20% of them will need to take some kind of blood-glucose-controlling medications.

 Diabetes and Fertility

Infertility, the inability to become pregnant within 12 months of trying to conceive, affects about 10% of the population.  In fact, only about 10% of infertility cases go unexplained. In most instances, simple lifestyle changes like weight loss through proper exercise and nutrition can help reverse the affects of infertility. However, diseases like diabetes can cause extra complications for both women and men when it comes to fertility.

If you have been trying with no luck to get pregnant and have not been able to find a reason for your infertility, it may be time to have a simple blood test to determine if your glucose levels are too high. More and more infertility specialists are looking toward this health issue as a main cause of some otherwise unexplained infertility cases they see.

When it comes to diabetes and infertility the answer is clear: there is a connection.

 Infertility specialists encourage their patients with Type 2 diabetes to focus their efforts on eating healthy, exercising, losing weight and closely monitoring blood sugar levels. Taking vitamin supplements is also encouraged. If those efforts alone don't lead to a healthy pregnancy, then medications may be introduced to improve fertility. It can be a challenge to make the lifestyle changes necessary to deal with Type 2 diabetes. The good news is that those efforts are, quite often, rewarded.

Research has shown a strong correlation between PCOS and Type 2 diabetes. Both PCOS and Type 2 diabetes are characterized by unhealthy levels of blood glucose and a resistance to insulin. A variety of medications can be prescribed to help lessen or reverse the effects of PCOS. As with Type 2 diabetes, a healthy lifestyle can also go a long way toward reducing or eliminating PCOS. The key is to bring blood sugar levels into a normal and stable range while combating insulin resistance.

Diabetes doesn't preclude men and women from reproducing. It does, however, require professional guidance, meticulous maintenance of health, and monitoring of blood sugar and hormonal levels. With proper care and attention, the vast majority of diabetics can have healthy offspring.
