Can Diabetes Affect Sperm Quality?

Yes, diabetes can affect the quality of your sperm. Research suggests that men with diabetes have lower sperm count, lower motility, and higher levels of sperm with abnormal morphology (structure) than men without diabetes. High blood sugar levels can lead to decreased production of testosterone, which can affect sperm quality negatively. Moreover, diabetes increases oxidative stress and inflammation in the body, which can also contribute to a decline in sperm quality. Therefore, men with diabetes should maintain normal sugar levels to reduce their risk of diabetes-related sperm defects. ¹
