Possibly: It is not unusual for men with type i diabetes to have difficulty with having sexual intercourse, due to neurological effects of the diabetes. Has your husband had a sperm count? Have you had a complete fertility and hormonal evaluation? The good news is that you are under 32 years old, so that you chance of conceiving is excellent!
