Sexual function of 26-36-year-old men with type 1 diabetes

Abstract

Introduction. Sexual function of type 1 diabetic (T1D) males vs. controls has been scarcely investigated. Investigation of reproductive health of young males was performed in 2003/2004 ("The Reproductive Function of Estonian, Latvian and Lithuanian Young Men" (ELLY)) (1) in the Baltic countries although questions regarding sexual function were not addressed specifically at that time. ELLY study participants were invited as controls for investigation of sexual function in T1D males. European Male Ageing Study (EMAS) Sexual Functioning Questionnaire (SFQ) (2) was used for the evaluation of sexual function.
