TAKING CONTROL OF YOUR DIABETES® - THE PODCAST! ...With Expert Endocrinologists Living with T1D, Drs. Steven V. Edelman & Jeremy Pettus

Let’s talk about sex baby! Sex is one of those topics that is considered “taboo” yet a topic most people have questions about. So, we’re inviting marriage, family and sex therapist Dr. Janis Roszler to take the shame out of the sex conversation. We’ll discuss how diabetes can affect your sex life and tips for not letting your diabetes get in the way of an intimate moment. We’re also talking about ways to build (or rebuild) a sexual connection and how to take the pressure off “performing” in the bedroom.
