In this episode of Diabetes Insights, we’re talking about a topic that doesn’t get nearly enough attention in diabetes care: Sexual Health. 

Studies show that people with diabetes are twice as likely to experience sexual dysfunction, yet many patients and healthcare professionals struggle to discuss it openly.

Join host Vivienne Parry as she speaks with Dr. Aleksandra Uruska, a diabetologist from Poznań University of Medical Sciences, and Dr. Marieke Dewitte, a clinical psychologist and sexologist from Maastricht University.

Together, they explore the biological, psychological, and social factors affecting sexual health in diabetes, the importance of breaking the stigma, and how healthcare providers can better support patients in addressing these challenges.
