Poorly managed blood sugar levels can lead to a loss of sex drive and difficulty becoming physically aroused. Conditions such as obesity, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, and depression, which often accompany diabetes, can also compromise libido. Men with diabetes are more likely to experience erectile dysfunction, while women may experience vaginal dryness and urinary tract infections.
