Question
Can male diabetic patients have children?
Answer
Diabetic patients, including males, can usually have children safely as long as the disease is properly managed. However, for Type 1 diabetic patients, especially those with a longer duration of the disease, special attention should be given to some potential fertility issues. For example, high blood sugar levels may affect sperm quality, so strict control of blood sugar levels is crucial for maintaining fertility. Moreover, diabetic patients should consult with their doctors before planning pregnancy to ensure they receive the best medical care during pregnancy and childbirth.
