Abstract
How little is known about the effects of diabetes on female sexuality is described in this article. In the past, female sexuality and diabetes were discussed only in relation to reproduction. The more recent classical studies that do address sexual functioning, however, are inadequate to describe the effects of diabetes, for these studies are couched in misinformation and misunderstanding of female sexuality with much of the information being extrapolated from data collected from male subjects. Finally, suggestions for future research are made that would integrate current theory on female sexuality and the effects of diabetes.Keywords
