Ask yourself one question do you love him. what if you were already married for a few years and found out later in life that that you were diabetics. Do you think your Dr would have told you to divorce him. Diabetes can happen to anyone anytime. Do what makes you happy that's all that matters. Good luck

I am writing to tell you what an incredible impact these methods had on my life! I have had type 2 diabetes for 27 years. For me, the worst part of this horrible disease is the severe pain I constantly get in my feet. The pain is so bad that I avoid standing and walking as much as possible. I've got to tell you that within the first month, my feet stopped hurting altogether and I can now walk totally pain free.
Believe it or not, I even danced at my niece's wedding last month, something I have not done in a many years. I've been following the book for six months now and my blood sugar is well within normal range. I feel great!
I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

What kind of question is that? Just because the both of you are diabetic doesn't mean you can't get married. Yes there is a chance your children could be diabetic but you know ways to prevent them from becoming diabetics.

Ok, this doc sounds like an idiot, the reason people get married is for love (well it's supposed to be) and not how compatible they are health wise.
Sure there could be problems with sex but with all new medicines, most of them can be treated, i wouldn't be listening to your so called doctor.
I have type 1 Diabetes, my bf doesn't but if he did, i'd still wanna be withhim anyway, no matter what some doc told me.

You would have a higher chance of having kids with diabetes, but if you love him and he loves you, you shouldn't listen to your doctor. Just listen to what your heart tells you.

Honey, if you love him and want to marry him, tell your doctor to eat **** and die. I'm insulin dependent, was diagnosed in 1986 at age 24. They told me to forget about ever having children, it would be too hard on me and the baby. I listened and never took that chance. It's now one of my biggest regrets. Sure, I'd hate to pass it on to my child, but there are all kinds of new treatments and hopefully some day soon they'll find a cure. Besides, more and more research is saying diabetes is triggered by an illness, not heredity. Neither of my parents are diabetics. There have been numerous advancements in the past twenty years. You and your boyfriend take good care of yourselves to lessen your complications....and if and when you do decide to get pregnant stay in excellent control. As for sexual dysfunction....same advice...keep in good control...and keep in mind sexual dysfunction isn't something just reserved for diabetics. It's happens to regular people too. Best wishes for a happy, fulfilled future.

It could work out very well because Diabetes is a very difficult disease to live with. You could have your own support group and work together to help control it. Menu planning, cooking and eating together could really help.
If you understand the sexual aspects of the disease and talk about them I think that could be very positive. Good luck.

Your doctor has a minor point. Major point is: Do you love him enough to spend the rest of your life with him and deal with your shared problems? If you are type II and do a good job at controlling your blood sugar, sex shouldn't be too much of a problem. With regard to children, that's another story... If we're talking type II, then with proper education on diet and conditioning, there's no reason your kids can't have a normal life. If we're talking type I, then I wouldn't risk it. Type II is a breeze (at least for me) when compared to type I.

First off, Im thinking if you are wondering about marrying someone you love on the basis of your disorder then there are bigger problems here.
Both of you need to educate yourself and concentrate on your diabetes. Get healthy.
Marriage kids etc etc. That is down the road. Forget all that for now.
Get a good meal plan for yourselves. Educate yourselves on good eating and your disorder. Start an exercise plan and stick to it. Discipline yourselves to be where you want to be healthwise then worry about the other stuff.
Im also curious what kind of doctor would advise you not to marry someone you love because of your sickness, instead of trying to help you both get healthy together.
Im also curious what kind of person would entertain such a doctor?
