Who can get diabetes

Anyone can develop diabete. While certain factors like genetics, age, lifestyle, and ethnicity can increase your risk, diabetes can affect all kinds of people.

Guida e diabete

You can usually drive if you have diabetes, but there are some important rules to follow, especially if you take insulin or medications that can cause low blood sugar.

Working and diabetes

People with diabetes are protected at work under the Equality Act 2010. This means your employer must make reasonable adjustments to support your health needs and ensure you're not treated unfairly because of your condition.

Treatment for diabetes

Insulina helps treat diabetes by lowering blood sugar levels. It is used to keep blood sugar levels in a healthy range.

Fertility and diabetes

Diabetes can affect male fertility. High blood sugar levels over time may impact sperm quality, lower testosterone levels, and even cause problems like erectile dysfunction, all of which can make it harder to conceive.

Pregnancy and diabetes

Pregnancy can affect diabetes. Hormonal changes can make blood sugar levels harder to control, and some people may even develop diabete gestazionale, a temporary type that happens during pregnancy.

Consigli generali

You can avoid getting a hypo (low blood sugar), by eating regular meals, never skipping snacks if you’re on insulin or certain diabetes medications, and keeping an eye on your blood sugar levels.
