Liz and Amy are joined by Sanne and DJ to talk about how contraceptives and hormones impact diabetes, junk-related complications, and how exactly to have sex with an insulin pump. You’ll get to hear about the direct impact of contraceptives on diabetes (there really aren’t any), get the scoop on metformin and sperm, tales of ED from poor management, plus maybe the worst diabetes sex story of all time (you’ll have to decide which one it is). Sex is inherently weird, and diabetes doesn’t need to stop you.Links:Contraceptives and diabetes management outcomes: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12282829/Comparative study of different contraceptives in diabetic women: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5683149/Metformin as a PCOS treatment: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4200661/Study on links between metformin and sperm count: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5296448/Study showing sperm count rebound after diabetes diagnoses: https://www.endocrinologyadvisor.com/home/topics/diabetes/type-2-diabetes/five-day-spike-on-metformin-ends-in-lower-testosterone-after-30-days/Please feel free to join the wonderful diabetes communities on Reddit and Discord.r/diabetes subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/diabetes/r/Diabetes discord: https://discord.gg/diabetes
