Men & Diabetes
It’s not easy to talk about health—especially sexual health—but don’t drop the ball. Speak with your doctor about managing diabetes-related problems that could keep you on the sidelines.
OK guys, let’s be honest. Some of you don’t take great care of your health. You walk off injuries. You may not pay attention to signs that something’s wrong. And the No. 1 reason you don’t go to the doctor? Research shows it’s because you don’t want to hear bad news. But that means you won’t get to hear the good news either. We’ll get to that below.
As a guy, you’re more likely to get type 2 diabetes at a lower weight than women. One reason is that men store more fat in their bellies—a known risk factor. And more men than women have diabetes that’s undiagnosed; maybe it’s that “don’t want to hear bad news” thing.
