Little did we know that increase blood glucose level has profound effects on fertility.

Diabetes has negative effects on both men and women who refused to put their glucose level into check.

Effect on Women
According to Natural Fertility Info website, diabetes alone does not keep women from getting pregnant, but it oftentimes keeps them from staying pregnant.

Diabetes in a pregnant women prevents the embryo from implanting in the uterus, causing a miscarriage before she even realizes she is pregnant.

According to American Diabetes Association, high glucose levels are reported to increase woman's chance of miscarriage by 30-60%.

Blood glucose level that is high can affect hormones needed for pregnancy to occur. That is why glucose control is so vital to fertility.

Effects on Men
Men too can experience infertility issues due to high blood glucose level.

The effects are;
1. Retrograde Ejaculation: This is a condition where semen backs up into the bladder, making it impossible to get to the woman's reproductive organ.

2. Sperm DNA Damage: According to research released in 2007 by Dr. Ishola Agbaje of the Reproductive Research Group at Queen's University in Belfast, diabetes can cause serious damage to sperm which can inhibit a pregnancy, live birth and even healthy, normal fetus.

In simplification, a diabetic man who does not control his blood glucose level has less of a chance of impregnating his partner and when he does the risk of miscarriage and deformities are much higher.

Recommendation:
Consume sugar in moderation and take charge of your blood glucose level to better support reproductive health and overall wellbeing.
