Living with Diabetes

Historically, men have not been comfortable discussing issues about their health, particularly conditions like diabetes, depression or sexual dysfunction. This has resulted in shorter and less healthy lives for men in the United States compared to women.

But times have changed, and so have men. Today's men have a strong grasp of their disease and related conditions, actively engage with their healthcare providers, and proactively manage their health. We encourage all men with diabetes to take the "modern man" challenge: get out, get active, get informed!

Serious Health Implications

Inform yourself about complications like heart disease, nerve damage and kidney damage.  

Sexual Health

Seek help if diabetes affects your sex life and your relationships.

Emotional Health

Feeling blue? Don't be afraid to share sadness, anxiety or depresson.

Diet & Exercise

Prevent heart disease, high blood pressure and obesity by eating well and getting active.
